He already did in this thread. It is not. BUT: The virus scanners you
are using might be. I tried with

clamav, F-Secure, McAfee and Antivir. 

clamav --> caught all
F-Secure --> caught all
McAfee --> only one variant
Antivir --> only one variant

Upgrade your virus scanners/sigs. If not possible: Disable ZIP.
