as posted earlier at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.virus.clamav.devel/1702
that (or a very similar) problem has been solved in ClamAV 0.81, but
is again present in later ClamAV versions (0.82 & 0.83):

# clamscan /usr/share/doc/openssl-0.9.7a/ssleay.txt
/usr/share/doc/openssl-0.9.7a/ssleay.txt: OK

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 31250
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 0
Data scanned: 12.73 MB              <--- !!
I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes
Time: 13.253 sec (0 m 13 s)         <--- !!

# clamscan -V
ClamAV 0.83/731/Sun Feb 27 08:39:16 2005

With the --debug option, thousands of lines will be produced, most of
them saying
LibClamAV debug: parseEmailFile: check 'something' contMarker 0

best regards,
rob.
