Furkan,

You didn’t provide enough detail on what issue you’re having when starting `clamd` (the clamav daemon). Ordinarily one would just run `clamd` to start it, or if using systemd, run:
systemctl enable clamav-daemon.service
systemctl start clamav-daemon.service

If clamd is not running, clamdscan can’t connect to it to initiate scans. This is expected behavior.

As for scanning the zip: ClamAV has max file-size and max scan-size limits. You can raise these limits by adjusting settings in clamd.conf or the command line options to clamscan. In theory you can raise it up to 4GB, though in practice you can’t go above 2GB for certain file types, I think. Your zip file is over 8GB and well above the clamav’s current limitations.

Regards,
Micah

Hi there,
About a month ago, I installed clamav on my debian-based(jessie)linux machine from jessie repository.

*You can find first installed version (slow running one)

root@ruhi:~# apt-cache policy clamav
clamav:
Kurulu: 0.101.2+dfsg-1
Aday: 0.101.2+dfsg-1

In this try, I had a very serious scanning time problem.
For 110 mb file (this is not encrypted file - normal exe), scanning time is : 1 m 33s (below screenshot)

After that, I installed clamav from the source code that you share on your web page (same version 0.101.2)
The problem of slowing has been solved, but now it seems that not running stable and it is getting very fast results. I want to make sure the results are correct or not. Also you can see that "clamdscan" couldn't find infected files in my zip while "clamscan" could. Compressed files is enabled in my conf file.

To see scanning time :

Problems :

1) Clamav-daemon couldn't start properly. It starts working on my first attempt and then seems to be disabled and I couldn't make service up.
2) When I want to use "clamdscan" instead of "clamscan" always getting "ERROR: Could not connect to clamd on LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory" I can fix this to restart service and make "freshclam" but when I couldn't service up (issue1) I couldn't use clamdscan.
* All problems and conf files are attached

I hope you can help to fix the issues. Thank you
Furkan
