Archives and compressed files

The library has a built-in support for the following formats:

• Zip
• RAR (2.0)
• Tar
• Gzip
• Bzip2
• MS OLE2
• MS Cabinet Files
• MS CHM (Compiled HTML)
• MS SZDD compression format
• UPX (all versions)
• FSG (1.3, 1.31, 1.33)
• Petite (2.x)

Due to license issues, support for RAR 3.0 archives is currently not available in libclamav (they will cause RAR module failure. error message). You can scan them with help of external unpackers in clamscan, though.
