Check the setting that tell ASSP how MUCH of the message to send to
Clam (ClamAVBytes).  Zip files have their index at the end, so
clam may be unable to scan the zip contents unless this setting 
is larger than the message size. Mine, which I assume is the default is 
60000 or 60Kb.  This would mean with message headers, content and 
base-64 encoding, you are looking at about 42Kb zip file.  How large
is the ZIP file you need to scan?
