How to view results of last clamscan scan?

Question

I scanned pen drive using clamscan and I closed the terminal after scanning without reading the result.

Now one of my folders on the pen drive is missing. I wanted to know if clamav deleted it.

So I want to view the last scan result.

There is no log file by default - the output goes to stdout.

In order to have a log specify it with the -l option i.e. -l clamav.log

simply create a file e.g. example01.txt with nautilus/file-manager then in terminal

clamscan <-parameter> >> example01.txt

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but at the time when I posted this thread, I had already executed the clamscan command and closed th terminal. So I was looking for the way to find it after running clamscan. Your suggested way works and I will keep that in mind next time! :-) – Abhijit Navale Nov 22 '12 at 16:42
