You can follow a workaround by disable the antivirus:
  zmprov ms `zmhostname` -zimbraServiceEnabled antivirus
  zmprov ms `zmhostname` -zimbraServiceEnabled antivirus
  zmcontrol restart
  zmcontrol restart


But this workaround will let your Zimbra Collaboration Platform without an Antivirus, and we don't recommend it.

ClamAV DB Update leads to **UNCHECKED** in all messages

Purpose

A recent update to ClamAV's DB causes clam to not start up, leading to emails being marked as '**UNCHECKED**'

This affects ClamAV version 0.97.8, and therefore the Zimbra versions affected are 8.0.6 and below, including 7.x.

  • ZCS 8.0.7+, 8.6 and 8.7 are not affected.

Manually update of the db causes a memory allocation error and fills up the logs

Try to manually regenerating the DB leads to the following error:

[zimbra@zcs806 ~]$ /opt/zimbra/clamav/bin/freshclam --config-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/freshclam.conf
