The dmg files are logical structures. They are comprised of Unix directories and files and clam doesn't need to treat them differently than any other directory tree. if you have support compiled in for zip, RAR, TAR, and several other archiving formats it should decompose them and scan each of the the contents. You should be able to explore the log to see what clamXav did while scanning.

Hi

I am a new member.

I am a Mac user and so I use ClamXav to scan my files.

My question is:

‘Does ClamXav scan what’s inside Compressed files like .RAR,  .zip…. and 
Package files like .dmg?’    Because I feel ClamXav takes
considerably longer to scan the extracted file/s compared to the compressed 
versions and wonder if it really scans them.

Kind Regards
Jinwon
