My Kaspersky 6.0 didn't see anything wrong with attached file, though I set it to especially scan it (I didn't attempt to unzip it, of course- but Kaspersky normally finds bad guys also in compressed files of all formats), instead I Skyped the message and the file to the local Kaspersky representative. He replied he will immediately send it to the KAV headquarters.
And behold- about 3 hours later, with fresh antivirus updates (Kaspersky updates are by default automatic every hour) my Kaspersky did find virus (Trojan Downloader) in the said zip file and deleted it.
I was impressed and surely will stick with KAV

P.S. On the second thought, I just changed that weblink in the quoted message, as I'm not sure if clicking on it as it was in original is safe.
