Bug Description
After an update of the clamav database using freshclam (runs by default every hour) nautilus-clamscan no longer detects any viruses in files previously infected (right after bootup of ubuntu). By executing the command 'nautilus -q', or rebooting, the problem temporarily disappears until the next automatic update.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Package versions: linux-generic-pae (2.6.32.25.27), nautilus (1:2.30.

Invoking the same function that nautilus-clamscan uses to scan the files from within python causes an error:
