Yup, that's what other users said above. Unfortunately, the page about
ClamAV for Windows doesn't say anywhere that it only scans for malware in
RAM, not on mass-storage:

www.clamav.net/lang/en/about/win32/

I suspect this oversight is not unrelated to ClamAV for Windows being a
closed-source product ;-)

It obviously only scans for malware in RAM. I have two 200GB hard-disks, and
they are clearly not being scanned by ClamAV for Windows.

Thank you.
