[clamav-users] Inquiry about ClamAV's clamdscan scan timeout

[Tachibanaki Nozomi (橘木 希美)]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Tachibanaki from Ricoh IT Solutions Co., Ltd..
Thank you for your recent response to my inquiry.

The purpose of this email is to inquire about ClamAV's clamdscan scan timeout.


  1.  Is there any way to check when a scan timeout occurs? (e.g., display a message, etc.)
  2.  I scanned a ZIP file(1.7GB) containing a test virus file with clamdscan and it exited successfully without detecting any virus. Is this a specification?

The scan.conf settings are as follows：

・ReadTimeout 120

・MaxScanTime 120000

・MaxScanSize 2048M

・MaxFileSize　2048M

・MaxZipTypeRcg 2048M


I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,


Nozomi Tachibanaki
