On CentOS you should be able to check with: `yum info zlib-devel`

Alternatively, take a peek in /usr/include/zlib.h for the line starting with:
#define ZLIB_VERSION

Thanks for help so far.

Hi Jay,

Is your system 32bit?   As noted in our 0.100.0 release notes, we found that 
Centos 6 (and 5)
provide an old version of zlib (1.2.3.3) that will fail to properly extract the 
ClamAV databases.
You can update to 1.2.4 to resolve the issue, but I recommend at least 1.2.9 or 
newer as 1.2.8 has
at least 4 published CVE's.

Regards,
Micah

Oh, check your permissions on var/lib/clamav, see if clam has access to it

I was able to manually download daily.cvd and main.cvd, and I placed these 
files in the
/var/lib/clamav directory, with the following permissions:

[root@centos clamav]# ls -al
total 162524
drwxr-xr-x   2 clam clam      4096 Jul 15 22:01 .
drwxr-xr-x. 49 root root      4096 Jul 15 03:08 ..

-rw-------   1 clam clam       468 Jul 15 22:01 mirrors.dat

I was hoping on a reboot that clamav would start working, it didn't, here is 
the error I get now:

I enabled logging when clamav is running, hence the debug info above.  I still 
am getting the
malformed database issue even when directly downloading the files using wget 
from the
clamav.net<http://clamav.net/><http://clamav.net<http://clamav.net/>>
site.

I also verified that the clamav package was good, here is that command and the 
result:

[root@centos jhart]# rpm -V clamav-0.100.0-1.el6.i686
S.5....T.  c /etc/freshclam.conf

Can you see any issues above, or point me to something else to try. I was 
figuring that maybe rpm
would tell me I got a bad package and I'd reapply it, but I don't think that is 
the case.

Do you want my freshclam,conf parameters?

thanks for the help. I've tried just about everything I know to do and have 
been able to
research.

Jay
