>From version 0.83 clamd.conf man page:

       DisableDefaultScanOptions
              By  default  clamd uses scan options recommended by lib-
              clamav. This option  disables  recommended  options  and
              allows  you to enable selected options. DO NOT ENABLE IT
              unless you know what you are doing.
              Default: disabled

       ScanPE PE stands for Portable Executable - it's  an  executable
              file format used in all 32-bit versions of Windows oper-
              ating systems. This option allows ClamAV  to  perform  a
              deeper  analysis  of  executable  files  and  it's  also
              required for decompression of popular executable packers
              such as UPX.
              Default: enabled

       DetectBrokenExecutables
              With  this  option  clamd will try to detect broken exe-
              cutables and mark them as Broken.Executable.
              Default: disabled

What is wrong?  To enable detecting broken executables you have to change two
options in the clamd.conf file (not only one as shown in the posted options),
one is uncommenting DisableDefaultScanOptions, the second is uncommenting
DetectBrokenExecutables.
