I had some spare time so I decided to make a test
- I created 4 files containing the eicat test file: .txt,.com,.exe,.bat .
- I added them to a .7z archive.
- I added the .7z archive to a .zip archive.
- I added the .zip archive to a .gz archikve.
then I submitted the three archives to virustotal.com. The site showed almost the same results in the 3 cases, only 8 scanner out of 36 detected the file..

does this have any significance? Can any AV guru comment on this pls?
thanx in advance..
BTW, it was surprising seeing that the "new" Chinese Rising AV is among the 8 AVs
