Find clamav database directory, on Debian/Ubuntu it is /var/lib/clamav

Create file with arbitrary filename, give it .cdb extension.

Give it proper user and group ownership, on Debian/Ubuntu clamav:clamav.

Paste the following content:

Archived_EXE:*:*:.*\.exe:*:*:*:*:*:*
Archived_SCR:*:*:.*\.scr:*:*:*:*:*:*
Archived_PIF:*:*:.*\.pif:*:*:*:*:*:*
Archived_COM:*:*:.*\.com:*:*:*:*:*:*

Attention:

This way not only clamsmtp but clamscan binary as well with detect zipped exe files as viruses and act accordingly!
