i see..
but what i am wondering, is the following:

The same file as virus as ordinary file was tagged as this
eicar-test-file.
The exact same file, within a zip got tagged as eicar-test-file.
But only within the rar-file, the exact same file, did not state as
eicar-test-file.

There is no difference within the file or the contained test-file.
The only difference is the way it got through..
once directly..then within a zip and then within a rar..
and directly and as zip the file got scanned and the real virus-name was
mentioned..

only as rar-file this does not work

i hope you will be able to understand me :) as it is hot here.. ;)

Greetings

Marcel
