I'm seeing the same thing here using MIMEdefang 2.36, and ClamAV 0.60.
Uncompressed files get caught, but ZIP's do not.  I've run 'clamscan'
manually on ZIP files, and it works fine.

So you're not the only one seeing this -- I've reinstalled everything twice
over, making absolutely positively sure I've installed everything 'to the
letter'.

Subject: [Clamav-users] Compressed files not being scanned


I am running Solaris 9 Sparc with Amavis-ng 1.6.4 and ClamAV 0.60. Clam is
scanning non compressed files but does not seem to be scanning any
compressed files. When I tail the syslog I see the following:

Aug 21 11:29:26 mail courierd: [ID 702911 mail.info] Waiting.  shutdown

amavis[10644]: AMAVIS: Cleaning up. Aug 21 11:29:29 mail amavis[10644]:
AMAVIS: Done.

I have done tests using the Eicars test virus, and if I just send the virus
through Clam picks it up, but if I compress it with any type of compression
software I see the above message logged and it passes through the system
without being caught.

I have tested the decompression utilities on the system and they are all
working fine. Can anyone give me some insight as to what the issue may be,
or how I can get more specific information to help define where the problem
is?


Thank You
