I read in the FAQ of the clamwin that we should try to download eicar.com
and see if the clamwin and clamav detect it as a virus.
However, both of my Clamav and Clamwin did not detect it.
I am using:
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV version 0.88.2, clamav-milter version 0.88.2 on
puffy.mcojaya.com
Clamd version 0.88.2
and i always update them with freshclam.
In my windows I use clamwin 0.88.2.3 and use the same main.cvd and
daily.cvd.
What happen?

How did you test for it?
dp
Yes, usually when it is not detected it is because the text string is placed
in the body of an email with text or whitespace in front of it. The string
must be the first thing in the body of the message - nothing in front of it.
Another reason is the "virus" has been cleaned by antivirus software either
on an enterprise gateway server or desktop or other antivirus software
before clamav sees the virus. If it is an email message that you are
diagnosing then make sure when you receive the message in your inbox that
the eicar text string is still present (and was there when you sent the
message).
