Multiple scanners

[Spicer, Kevin]

Sorry I've cracked this now - turned out the version of clam I had was a bit (well very) old and had a different output format.  Latest version fixes that.  I saw the message that clam had found an infection, but missed the warnings about the output format - so assumed clam was working as expected. Doh!
