is clamscan not unpacking cab-archive inside a multivolume rar-archive? When I tried clamscan with --unrar option on a multivolume rar archive containing a large .cab -file (196M) and a few other files, then the cabfile did not seem to get unpacked for scanning. At least looks that way according to the output of "Scanned files:" and "Data scanned:" in scan summary.
Is this expected behaviour in archives of this size, or have I missed the right options? Or am I just confused by numbers in the output? Anyway, worked around by first unpack then scan. Sorry if this is wellknown, I have tried to search the lists. Have also tried scanning with and without these options: --max-files=50000 --max-space=8000000000 What options do I need to use?
