One thing: [quote from PDF]

exiscan will unpack the MIME container, but NOT .zip, .rar or other
archives. It is better to leave this option in. In fact, if clamAV can
unpack mime too, it may be better to disable it in exiscan, since the AV
de-mimers do not really unpack but only "scan" contents, which is
usually much faster.

Since every AV products seems to be able to de-mime stuff nowadays, I'm
thinking to make exiscan_unpack_mime = false the default in an upcoming
version.
