I have the same question about scanning the contents of a zip file. I have tried the approach stated in harlan4096’s reply but Kasperky freezes when attempting to scan a zip file. The scan gets stuck at 1% and never finishes. At this point the scanning has been allowed to run for over an hour (and I am allowing it to continue to run … hoping it will work). Attempting to stop the scanning also doesn’t work. (The Kaspersky interface shows no response except in the Details screen. The Details screen only indicates “stopping”, but this too never finishes.) Although scanning a zip file freezes, other Kaspersky features appear to continue operating without problems such as updating the database. Current conclusion: Kaspersky cannot scan files stored in a zip file. Software used: Kaspersky Internet Security, 20.0.0.829a, 2019
