this doesn't say anybody, as I'm new to ClamAV - as I installed it on my 
Proxy-Box (CentOS 6 with Squid and SquidClamAv),
and these samples are the only samples I have to test if my 
configuration really works - the eicar is the only which ClamAV does an 
alarm;
so then give me quite small samples, or better links to such samples to 
test real viruses and not just theoretical test viruses like eicar ...

sorry, you misunderstood the problem at all, most of these samples I 
received several weeks/months ago(!)
