Certainly does, thanks.

Please find attached an update clamav-wrapper script which properly
supports external unpackers when running as root.  In order to do this
it also creates a temp directory 
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/clamav (to take advantage of any
ramdisk) and sets its permissions to be writable by the clamav user. 
Comments in the file explain which settings are necessary in
MailScanner.conf to get archive support working.      

This should solve the problem with 'File size limit exceeded' messages
since these come from the internal unpacker and now cause clam to fall
back to using the external unpacker, which then allows all files in the
archive to be scanned.  I've tested this with one of the affected
zipfiles and can confirm that MailScanner does then correctly report...
ClamAV: photos.zip contains Worm.Mimail.C in photos.jpg.exe (possibly
others)
