Indeed.

Ugo, try putting Eicar.com into a zip file (you can put that inside a gzip
file, inside a bzip2 file, inside another zip file..... etc if you want) and
emailing it to yourself.   Your antivirus system should detect the Eicar
inside all the zips.

It's vital to remember who you really are.   It's very important.   It isn't
a good idea to rely on other people or things to do it for, you see.   They
always get it wrong.
