I think for clamav checks it's better to change command line options for 
archived files:
in
sub message_contains_virus_clamav ()
sub entity_contains_virus_clamav ($)

change 
run_virus_scanner($Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'} . " -r --stdout --disable-summary --
infected ./Work 2>&1");

to

run_virus_scanner($Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'} . " -r --stdout --disable-summary --
infected --disable-archive --unzip --unrar --unace --arj --zoo --lha --jar --
tar --deb --tgz ./Work 2>&1");

Of course that requires all these archivers to be installed in the system.
What other people think about that?
