This is a permission problem. clamscan works as follows: first tries to
scan the file with internal RAR scanner - that fails, because this is a
rar3.0 archive (which is not supported, what is described in the README file
in the test directory). After that if --unrar[=/path] was passed it uses
the unrar utility - but if it was started by root for security reasons it
drops the privileges and the clamav user have no permission to open
the file. I remember it was fixed some time ago by copying the file to /tmp
before dropping the privileges but don't remember - must look into sources.
This kind of problem was popular when clamscan was only using external
unpackers.
Best regards,
Tomasz Kojm
