I guess that would make sense. I actually saw the same thing occur 
across three different DAT updates (daily dat-$VERSION).

I downloaded a newer uvscan though - (were running 4.1.4, now running 
4.2.4 with 4.2.40 scan engine. EICAR is correctly detected. Looks like 
it may have been a scan engine issue? Dunno.
