clamav uses the zlib library for handling zip files, and it has had no
enhancements (nor is it likely to, last I heard) in this direction.

I have been pondering how hard it would be to port clamav to use the
infozip routines instead, but it looks like a fair amount of work, and I
am not sure how portable the infozip stuff is, or how well packaged
(Debian doesn't ship the shared libraries at present, not sure about
other distros).  The advantage of infozip is that it seems to support a
wider variety of zip file formats, but there are obvious disadvantages
as well.

Comments from others in the community about this idea would be
appreciated.  Sorry I can't be more helpful to you, John, but there it
is.
