That error message usually means two things: - the size of the file doesn't fit in 32-bits, and the application cannot handle 64-bits lengths - you are using a filesystem that has 64-bit inodes, and trying to access the file using a 32-bit application (such as xfs with inode64 mount option) There are some compile flags that can be used to support large files on 32-bit systems (LARGEFILE_SOURCE and friends), however consider that: - you'll also have to change the clamd limits - I doubt those limits can exceed 2 Gb on a 32-bit system - scanning such a large file would take a huge amount of time - clamav doesn't handle the PST format, so it won't be scanning the actual emails, and perform only a raw scan You can try splitting that 6Gb file into individual emails, and scanning those with clamav.
