ClamAV doesn't have the ability at present to signature on scan target 
filenames, with exception to names of files in archives.  ClamAV uses the 
filenames a little more in 0.101+, but historically the scanning engine hasn't 
had access to filenames, only file content.

    Noting I often rename rtf files to doc - because when someone insists on
    a "word doc" and you send them a .rtf, when they complain you sent them
    the "wrong thing" you are in a lose/lose situation (if you correct them,
    they resent it, if you don't, they think you did something wrong)
