ClamAV version devel-20040316, built on OSX 10.3.3, and integrated into CommunigatePro 4.1.8, is consistently failing to detect the following Eicar tests from www.testvirus.org:
Test #5: Eicar virus sent using BinHex encoding
Test #8: Eicar virus sent using BinHex encoding within a MIME segment
Test #10: Eicar virus embedded within an RFC822 message
Test #15: Eicar string in HTML, to ensure that your mail server scans HTML segments
Test #22: Eicar virus within zip file hidden using the "Empty MIME Boundary Vulnerability"
Test #23: Test for the "Partial (Fragmented) Vulnerability". This does not include Eicar virus, but your mail server still must block this since it can break a virus into multiple emails and reassemble it in your inbox.
Test #24: Attachment with a CLSID extension which may hide the real file extension. This does not include Eicar virus, but your mail server still must block this since it can hide the true extension of a file.
if there's anything further i can provide/check, pls let me know.
