Unfortunately, we're finding those simple-minded rules are running out
of gas. :(  We've seen a zip file containing an Excel spreadsheet
with a macro virus in it.  ClamAV is essentially useless at detecting
viruses, so it's a real problem... any ideas?

I thought that ClamAV knew how to unpack zip/rar/tar/gzip/etc...
and scan the cruft inside them.

Are you saying that doesn't work or are you saying that the malware is
mutating fast enough that the ClamAV signatures aren't keeping up with it?
If the latter case, is there -any- AV kit that is?
Are the Sanesecurity add-in ClamAV signatures helpful?
