Norton Internet Security 2009 picked it up as soon as I tried to save it as a text document.
If I go to eicars site and download the file as .com or .txt Norton picked up on it before I try and save it. But it doesn't detect it in zip files until I try and open the zip to view contents. Same results if downloading from secure portion of eicars site.
