Thorough testing with things like
viruses in zip files
viruses in zip files which are themselves within zip files
viruses in files whose name starts or ends in a space
viruses in zip files where either/both of the name of the infected file or
the zip file start or end in a space
viruses in files with various nasty filenames (strange characters,
non-English characters, etc.)

That's a rough list of what needs to be done to test it thoroughly. I must
get around to installing my own copy of ClamAV some time to do tests of my
own, but it would really help if you could try out all the suggestions above.

All help is much appreciated!
