Well, actually it appears that it doesn't work when you specify just a directory (even with the -z option) without any wildcard matching the directories _in_ that directory - so, for example, if I run antivir -z / it doesn't do anything, but antivir -z /* gives the expected result. I haven't asked H+B support if this is a "works as expected" thing or an error. (I'm running it on local file systems only - I'd try to avoid running it across a network for a full scan to avoid the network load, but as always - your mileage my vary.)
