[clamav-users] Clamav fails to detect exe within rar

Hi,
I received a RAR file (orderlist.rar) which contained an EXE
(orderlist.exe). The EXE was detected by clamscan when scanned
separately, but the EXE within the RAR was not. Is there a problem
with my configuration that would cause this?

Here is my clamd.conf (which is really /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf),
although I don't know if clamscan uses this when scanning from the
command-line?

LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
LogFileMaxSize 20M
LogTime yes
LogSyslog yes
LogFacility LOG_MAIL
LogVerbose yes
PidFile /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.pid
TemporaryDirectory /var/tmp
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
LocalSocket /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock
TCPSocket 3310
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1
MaxThreads 10
ReadTimeout 160
User amavis

Thanks,
