Chapter 15 Security Profiles : AntiVirus : Antivirus concepts : Archive scan depth
  
Archive scan depth
The antivirus scanner will open archives and scan the files inside. Archives within other archives, or nested archives, are also scanned to a default depth of twelve nestings. You can adjust the number of nested archives to which the FortiGate unit will scan with the uncompressed-nest-limit CLI command. Further, the limit is configured separately for each traffic type.
