If you are using Clam AV, you should contact them--visit their web site for information. This forum can only address issues related to ClamWin for Windows, which uses the Clam AV scan engine. I will tell you however, that the Clam AV scan engine was/is developed for detecting infected email attachments on Linux email servers, and there is no need for cleaning when used like that--only reporting/quarantining/removing the infected file.
