Clamav has missed a few zip virii lately.  I believe variants of the Mytob 
virus.  Most of them when unzipped have the same format:

[root at norm tmp]# unzip accepted-password.zip
Archive:  accepted-password.zip
  extracting: accepted-password.txt                                                                      .exe

Notice lots and lots of spaces in the filename to fool users into thinking 
it's a .txt file.  Has anyone coded a MD rule to check for more than say 
10 consequtive spaces in a filename in a zip file?  Should be pretty 
simple, just haven't had time to look at it yet...

Also any suggestions for an anti-virus (commercial or not) to supplement 
ClamAV?

(PS i'm not trying to discredit clam, it's a great tool and we use it a 
lot.  i do submit the samples when i come across them.  defense in layers 
is always better though...)
