FAQ says:
But i'm not sure it also means stuff like chum's subroutine effect or not.
Anyway on BBG's forum there was an official answer reported:
If the Runner does not break Chum's subroutine and then bypasses the next piece of ice encountered, he or she will take the 3 net damage. Bypassing, as stated in the FAQ, does not break the ice's subroutines. Chum's effect is active once the Runner fails to break the subroutine, so the only way to prevent it is to either a) break all the subroutines on the next piece of ice encountered or

thx in advance!
It didn't really matter to me yet, but for clarity: What happens first? Subroutines fire or Chum deals damage?
According to the current FAQ (v.2.1, page 6) Chum triggers once step 3.1 of the run closes or is skipped. Subroutines fire during step 3.2, so Chum goes off before the subroutines.
Great catch on this detail.
Even if the ICE behind it gets trashed (Trap/Parasite/Cutlery/etc.), it still has its purpose as a lone HQ/R&D defender - assuming your deck contains Archangel. Because if the runner accesses Archangel from HQ/R&D and didn't break Chum (why should he? There's no ICE behind it), he has a problem.
