Same problem here. Home version Build 4.0.211.
Download eicar.zip to desktop. Rightclick on zipped file, “scan eicar.zip”. Virus detected but clicking on any of the buttons in the “Available actions” group results in the warning window closing but the action not being performed. The result window does not pop up to confirm any actions. The Processing actions group in the “Warning” pop up window only contains the “OK” button.
Scanning the same file after starting “avast!” selecting a “folder selection” scan, results in the warning window same as for “Quick scanner”, this time the “Processing actions” group contains buttons “Continue” and “Stop” and the buttons in “Available actions” group perform as designed with a “Result of last scan” popup confirming performed actions.
Also double clicking on eicar.com in the zipped file (using Windows XP to view the zipped file) produces the same anomaly. That is, the buttons in the “Available actions” group do not function, the warning window just closes. Again the “Processing Actions” group only contains an “OK” button.
Summary: looks like the “Available actions” in “Warning” pop up are not functional when initiated by “Quick scanner” or “On access”, for zipped files, non archive action is functional.
