Not a response to your problem but your post offers the opportunity 
to exchange info about the "Zip module failure" problem ....

Do other people get frequent "Zip module failure" errors ? 
It started seeing them after upgrading to ClamAv 0.80.
Upgrading to zlib 1.2.2 did not solve the problem.
I tried the Clamav CVS version  but it didn't solve it either
(though some mentioned it did for them : 
http://lists.clamav.net/lurker/message/20041129.153452.4a6a491d.en.html)

So far I've changed mimedefang.pl code to treat CLAMD errors as "OK"
( ($output =~ /^(.+) ERROR$/) code) ... Maybe worth a
$treat_clam_errors_as_ok variable in mimedefang-filter :-)
