[ I missed earlier message(s) in this thread, sorry if I'm off because of it ] Some messages have totally mutilated mangled invalid MIME encoding. When MIME::tools doesn't even recognize it as an attachment, it'll get through. MIME::tools has to be able to extract it into a file before MD can have a virus scanner scan it. I also use MD 2.36, I was running clamav 0.60, now I think I'm running the 0806 snapshot. Zip files do work for me with MD and clamd otherwise. Try zipping up eicar and sending it to yourself, I just did and it caught it. Unfortunately MIME::tools can't be modified to catch the broken ones too, reliably... You may want to check out the MD list archive, there have been several threads about MIME::tools and broken messages in the past.
