[Mimedefang] quick heads up: tampered zip passes viruscheck

This came by on the clamav mailinglist, and it went straight through
both of my virus scanners built into mimedefang:

It's a tampered .zip file which includes a copy of EICAR. You might
want to test how your virus scanners handle it. At least "zip" from
InfoZip unpacks it, albeit with a warning, producing a "real"
virus (EICAR).

It's possible to detect this with a bit of Archive::Zip prodding,
but it's too late for me to try that right now.
