I did install it properly as there isn't much to do wrong, when downloading the NSIS-based installer and just click "OK" everywhere. And I found the "problem". Look at this: P:\_virii>c:\clamav-devel\bin\clamscan p:\\_virii p:\\_virii/Clean.dot.virus: WM.Buero.A FOUND p:\\_virii/Happy99.exe.virus: Trojan.Happy99.SKA FOUND p:\\_virii/Hotvir.arj.virus: OK p:\\_virii/Hotvir.zip.virus: WM.Buero.A FOUND p:\\_virii/Makro.arj.virus: OK p:\\_virii/Nopde.doc.virus: WM.Nop.A FOUND p:\\_virii/Nopde.zip.virus: OK p:\\_virii/Normal.dot.virus: WM.Buero.A FOUND p:\\_virii/Pack.zip.virus: Zip module failure p:\\_virii/Pretty Park.exe.virus: W32.PrettyPark FOUND p:\\_virii/profil CW.DOC.virus: W97M.Ethan FOUND p:\\_virii/profil CW_mit Passwort.zip.virus: OK p:\\_virii/Profilcw.doc.virus: W97M.Ethan FOUND ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 39349 Engine version: devel-20050725 Scanned directories: 1 Scanned files: 13 Infected files: 8 Data scanned: 0.12 MB Time: 2.193 sec (0 m 2 s) P:\_virii>c:\clamav-devel\bin\clamscan /cygdrive/p/_virii/Clean.dot.virus: WM.Buero.A FOUND /cygdrive/p/_virii/Happy99.exe.virus: OK /cygdrive/p/_virii/Hotvir.arj.virus: OK /cygdrive/p/_virii/Hotvir.zip.virus: WM.Buero.A FOUND /cygdrive/p/_virii/Makro.arj.virus: OK /cygdrive/p/_virii/Nopde.doc.virus: WM.Nop.A FOUND /cygdrive/p/_virii/Nopde.zip.virus: OK /cygdrive/p/_virii/Normal.dot.virus: WM.Buero.A FOUND /cygdrive/p/_virii/Pack.zip.virus: Zip module failure /cygdrive/p/_virii/Pretty Park.exe.virus: W32.PrettyPark FOUND /cygdrive/p/_virii/profil CW.DOC.virus: W97M.Ethan FOUND /cygdrive/p/_virii/profil CW_mit Passwort.zip.virus: OK /cygdrive/p/_virii/Profilcw.doc.virus: W97M.Ethan FOUND ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 39349 Engine version: devel-20050725 Scanned directories: 1 Scanned files: 13 Infected files: 7 Data scanned: 0.12 MB Time: 1.483 sec (0 m 1 s) So there seems to be a problem and something is done different, when the file is passed to the scanner as cygwin path or as native windows path. Comparing the debug output it does find the virus directly after recognizing it as executable file. The other one starts priting informations about the file.
