Could you offer a brief description of why you think this will "fix" the
zip errors...?

Side note:

As far as we can tell, the corrupted ZIP files containing Mimail-infected
EXEs are actually getting scanned successfully and caught by clamd
(20031104) for us pretty reliably.  With the fix that makes clamd print
"ERROR" lines when encountering unrecoverable ZIP errors, we can still at
least, tell there is something fishy going on and still strip the
attachment based on seeing the ERROR reported by clamd.

With 20030317, clamd couldn't even open the new corrupted ZIP files that
are sloshing around out there, so our only "saving grace" was to just
detect the ZIP errors and strip the attachments based on the fact that
there was a ZIP error.
