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

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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...)
