I just mailed to maintainer, but I'm afraid problem is in samba vfs, 
just because vscan is not more than vfs module.
I didn't read sources yet, sorry :-(

But here is vscan output with 3.0.11, when I'm writing memTest.exe to dir:

Mar 23 08:57:59 backup smbd_vscan-clamav[6247]: INFO: Scanning file : 
'/home/samba/definity/DIST/memTest.exe'
Mar 23 08:57:59 backup smbd_vscan-clamav[6247]: INFO: file 
/home/samba/definity/DIST/memTest.exe is clean


And here is output with 3.0.12:
Mar 23 09:00:10 chr smbd_vscan-clamav[3668]: INFO: Scanning file : 
'/home/samba/common/'


As you see, now vscan scans _whole_  share!
Looks like there was changes in vfs code in 3.0.12 :-)
