But what if MailScanner happens to call your copy of F-Prot while it is
half way through unpacking the zip files? That batch of messages won't be
scanned properly and so a virus could easily slip through the net.

This is why my autoupdate scripts use a lockfile in /tmp (which interacts
with MailScanner).
