True. It's more kind of 'proof of concept'. There should be some
configuration option

    av_scanner = avast:/var/run/avast/scan.sock:FLAGS -fullfiles:IGNORE
E4056,E4711



An other option, but probably far too generic:

    malware = * / ignore:4056,4711 



BTW, I'm not sure about the number of "errors" we need to accept, if
there is some more edge case. For the password protected archive I think
the best solution would be to disable that kind of error in the scanner

    FLAGS +accept-encrypted


But that's up to avast. I'll send 'em a proposal…
