<p>Thanks</p><p>I realised after I posted !!  </p>

Windows 2003
ClamAV from http://hideout.ath.cx/clamav/
clamd daemon 0.91.2 (OS: cygwin, ARCH: i386, CPU: i686)

I've just sent my self some test viruses from:
http://www.aleph-tec.com/eicar/index.php

This worked fine, but one got through !!

eicarpasswd.zip (new! - zip compressed eicar.com with password)
Any way to test this type of file ?

Thanks

No anti-virus program scans inside password protected compressed files.

What you can do with clamav is to treat passworded zip files as failures: put 'ArchiveBlockEncrypted yes' in clamd.conf
