Drink a coffee first? Doing your homework?
1. First you posted this to the postfix mailing list, which is wrong
(the word postfix doesn't even get mentioned in your problem
description).
2. Now you posted it again to the clamav mailing list. Here you
claim clamav blocks .exe files. Clamav blocks nothing. It just
scans files, including .exe's for possible virusses. If there
is no virus in an exe-file, the file is not marked as dangerous.

Ah, a mailscanner question? So wouldn't the mailscanner mailinglist
not be more suited for such questions? (nitpicking: the directory
is named "MailScanner" with a capital "S")

So, I did a quick google, and found on the first page:
http://www.configserver.com/techfaq/faqlist.php?catid=5&faqid=25&page=1
which is even more than you asked for.
3. You didn't read the reply that was given on the postfix list either
which said to set "Maximum Archive Depth = 0". (The above url is
a more restrictive way to implement this, taking into account the
from and/or to.)
