It's important to note that ClamAV only supports RAR v2, so the answer is:

        Uncomment the ScanRar line in the config file

but pass the --unrar[=FULLPATH] option (and of course have the latest unrar)
if you really want to handle rar files because v2 is quite old and not
likely to be used much anymore. If you are using clamavmodule then you
cannot use the external unrar (which is why I patch my MS versions with
specific unrar code/function every release).
