There are, unfortunately, lots and lots of formats for compression out there, and while more decompressors are being added to clamav all the time, we don't yet have all of them covered. If you have the zip file that caused the failure, I would appreciate it if you could submit it to upstream's bugzilla at http://bugs.clamav.net . If you don't feel like managing a new bug login, you can of course submit it as a Debian bug, and I'll forward it upstream. This has nothing to do with the rar issues.
