clam use unzip utility outside its process space. if unzip itself is

    242     if(strbcasestr(filename, ".zip")) {
    243         char *args[] = { "unzip", "-P", "clam", "-o", (char *) 
filename, NULL };
    244         if((userprg = getargl(opt, "unzip")))
    245             ret = clamav_unpack(userprg, args, tmpdir, user, opt);
    246         else
    247             ret = clamav_unpack("unzip", args, tmpdir, user, opt);
