I was about to ask the same thing, for the same reason.  There's a new
File::Scan 0.58 out that detects Sobig.e but not in its ZIP form.  I've
asked the author whether he's up for adding a pattern for the ZIP form of
it.

Or "your_details.zi" (without the "p" for reasons explained on that site)  
which fortunately makes it harder for users to infect their machines.  :-)
