   Maybe I misread this description the last 20 or so times I looked
at it.  Could someone clarify whether setting this to "0" still allows
virus scanning within the archive?
   Or is it the case that scanning for viruses inside zips is handled
separately, by the virus scanner (clamavmodule) itself?  If so, is
that tunable somewhere, or will it always look inside archives if
possible?
