Hmm, you're right. Using clamd, this is what Exiscan is actually getting
back:

$ telnet localhost 3310
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SCAN /tmp/photos.zip
/tmp/photos.zip: File size limit exceeded. ERROR

The strange thing is that regardless of what the message says, Exiscan
should be detecting the trailing " ERROR" from the clamd socket as an
error and doing a tempreject. Or is Exiscan treating ERRORs as "ok"
instead of "tempreject" these days? This is with rev 12, by the way.

I would guess it's due to the file corruption you pointed out.
