As can be found at the FAQ [http://www.clamav.org/support/faq/] :

Whenever a file exceeds ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio (see clamd.conf man page), it’s considered a logic bomb and marked as Oversized.zip . Try increasing your ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio setting.

Hello,

Running
clamscan -V
ClamAV 0.92.1.
freshclam -V
ClamAV 0.92.1/7532/Sun Jun 22 09:52:49 2008

I have run Norton Antivirus (corporate edition) and clamscan on the
same compressed and un-compressed files.

Norton does not find any virus within either compressed or
un-compressed files.

While clamscan reports the following:

"camrela_backup/Movies_on_CD_DVD_40_e-version.zip: Oversized.Zip FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 324768
Engine version: 0.92.1
Scanned directories: 131
Scanned files: 2328
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 304.39 MB
Time: 107.562 sec (1 m 47 s)
"

The command that I ran was: clamscan -ri carmela_backup

To start of with there is no Oversized.zip file in the zipped file?
Is this a false positive, or does clamscan just not like the size of
the compressed file?  I have even larger compressed files which
clamscan does not complain about.
