I have 98 and XP machines that have anywhere from 500meg files to, in 2 cases, 2gig compressed files sitting on them and what you say has never happened even once in a scheduled scan. I never allow any virus scanner to scan incoming compressed files. I only allow them to scan when I save to disk from attachment and that hasn't ever been a problem, either.
