Hi David,

indeed, something's wrong with the detection of encrypted zips embedded
into other files. Please open a bug report at bugs.clamav.net and we'll
investigate it.

The problem can be worked around with this basic signature:

$ echo "Encrypted.Zip:1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*" > /usr/local/share/clamav/encrypted.zmd

(you may need to replace /usr/local/share/clamav with your local db directory)

Thanks,
