Let me check that.

This isn't zlib as-is. From one of the header files:

|  * This file contains code from zlib library v.1.2.3 with modifications
|  * by aCaB <acab at clamav.net> to allow decompression of deflate64 streams
|  * (aka zip method 9). The implementation is heavily inspired by InfoZip
|  *  and zlib's inf9back.c

There is bit on Wikipedia
	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflate#Deflate64/Enhanced_Deflate

about this. The zlib library rejected this years. Clamav has this
because it has to be able to look everywhere.
