I have a clamtk virus scanner.I am using ubuntu.But the scanner doesn't scan archives.How to make it scan archives.Or any special software/antiviruses required?

Try

Code:

sudo clamscan -r [directory to be scanned]

The -r parameter stands for "recursively".

Normally, clamTK has a package libclamav as well who automatically untar archives en then scan them.
You can force it by typing:

Code:

--tar[=FULLPATH]

OR

Code:

--unrar[=FULLPATH]
