> Trying to trigger CLAMAV with an EICAR file for a test. The file reacts on a windows machine, but on a redhat machine using clamav there is no trigger at all. We are using the standard eicar text file. Any thoughts on where to look for details on why it might not be triggering.

How are you testing? This works for me (beware of word wraps):

$ echo 
'X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*' > 
eicar.com

$ clamscan eicar.com
eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
