I'm also having the problem that Ron Snyder reported yesterday,
where clamscan will mark a file as OK, but if I extract the
attachment (just by base64-decoding it, NOT by unzipping it too),
then clamscan properly recognizes the virus (in this case, SCO.A).

Actually clamscan seems to be having this problem with every
single SCO.A virus I get, though I'm not sure it's limited to
just this one.

I saved the email (directly out of my Imap Maildir) as "email",
and the zip attachment (containing SCO.A) as "document.zip".
Here's what I get with clamscan (version 0.67, after running
freshclam):

> clamscan email
email: OK

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 20381
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 0
Data scanned: 0.03 MB
I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes
Time: 0.833 sec (0 m 0 s)

> clamscan document.zip
document.zip: Worm.SCO.A FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 20381
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.02 MB
I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes
Time: 0.787 sec (0 m 0 s)

Any suggestions?  Note that clamscan is successfully finding other
viruses in my inbox, but it's missing all of the SCO ones, as
far as I can tell.  I have over 200 of them saved in a separate
directory and clamscan misses all of those.

Thanks,
Dominic
