Does anyone have a solution for stopping the zip of death?

I've been running some DOS attacks on different network points of mine
trying to find weak spots when I found this problem

11036 Denial of Service: SMTP antivirus scanner DoS 
Description 
smtp (25/tcp)
For some reason, we could not send the 42.zip file to this MTA
BID : 3027

This script sends the 42.zip recursive archive to the
mail server. If there is an antivirus filter, it may start eating huge
amounts of CPU or memory.
42.zip: ZIP archive, 42K, composed of nested zips (nested 6 levels deep,
each level 17 wide) - produces a file 4GB in size and will reportedly crash
'most email virus checkers'.


Solution: Reconfigure your antivirus / upgrade it

Risk factor : High
