While clamav and our stack do support handling RAR archives, both need
packages from `non-free` installed in order to work.
Adding the 2 packages to the appropriate places would still
require a reference to the sources.list entry of how to get the `non-free`
archive area enabled and that way we can reference one place to answer how
to enable RAR support

v1->v2:
* fixed the double 'the The' noticed by Aaron (Thanks huge time!)
* left hte sources.list.entry as is, since apt sources.list and
sources.list.d configuration is explained quite well at the beginning of the
'Package Repositories' section

+Certain software cannot be made available in the `main` and `contrib`
+areas of the {debian} archives, since it does not adhere to the Debian
+Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). These are distributed in the
+{debian_nonfree_archive_area}. For {pmg} two packages from the `non-free` area
+are needed in order to support the RAR archive format:
+
+* `p7zip-rar` for matching xref:pmg_mailfilter_what[Archive Objects] in the
+ xref:chapter_mailfilter[Rule system]
+
+* `libclamunrar` for detecting viruses in RAR archives.
