Someone should reimplement eicar under a clear license using clean room techniques. I may do so if I find time.

It's not difficult if you reject the requirement of being DOS[0] executable:

echo$IFS'Free-Antivirus-Test-File'|tr$IFS'-'$IFS"$IFS"

The hard part is convincing AV vendors that they should support another test file. .oO( It might be easier to develop an actual DFSG-free virus, so that AV software will _have_ to detect it... )
