A file was rejected because it had the extension .com, not because of
viral content.

The warn directive adds a log message, or a header (if used as 
message = X-virus: yes or some such)  It does not reject mail or impede
mail flow in any way.  Look in your logs - do you see a line with the
above warning?

Take a look at /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt.gz for details of what
the various directives mean.  It sounds at the moment like you are
hoping for a different behavior than you have configured from your MTA,
so I would start with making sure the MTA is properly configured.  If
you look through the docs in the exim4-base directory, there are several
that point to Debian-specific sources of information, such as mailing
lists and on-line documetnation.  I would start there, and return here
if clamav does not work as expected after you are sure the MTA
integration is correct.

Take care,
