Those two online virus scanners would reveal the name other vendors call that virus by, and the appropriate searches of their sites would reveal the required information. This is basic research, easily done. There's no point in us spoon feeding you the answers or you'll be asking the same question with each new virus and not learning how to find the anser for yourself.

There's no point in us spoon feeding you the answers or you'll be asking the same question with each new virus and not learning how to find the anser for yourself. Yeah, I know that when a virus has aliases I can read all the info on each website of the AV vendors, but my question was especific for clamav. What I know is clamav doesn't have a 'Virus Information Library' or similar, that is the reason why I'm asking. I want to know how to do it with any virus, off course, not that you mail me the results.

Try submitting the infected file to http://virusscan.jotti.org and http://www.virustotal.com and see if any of their scanners detect it. Other vendors may well use different names.
