All cooked meats should be stored on the top or middle shelf. If storing on the middle shelf, ensure meat is well wrapped and that nothing can drip on to it from the top shelf. Normal storage protocol for a fridge is:
Top Shelf: Dairy products, cream cakes, cooked meats.
Middle Shelf: cooked meats, cooked meals other covered products (except raw food).
Bottom Shelf: Raw meat, defrosting of frozen products.
Salad drawer: Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, potatoes.
Side Compartments: Butter, milk, eggs.
Ham should be good 4 to 5 days refrigerated.
An unopened, cooked ham should be good refrigerated for 5 to 7 days.
It is not good practice to keep cooked meats frozen for long, but I'd say you should be fine up to a week or 2.
As long as it is in a sealed container and the refrigerator is set to 39 degrees (the optimum temperature), cooked meats such as ham will stay fresh for up to 10 days or so. However, the presence of any unusual odor when you open the container, or any mold or growth on any food indicates that it is spoiled and should be discarded. In my house, these are referred to as "science experiments".
A precooked ham is already cooked and needs only to be heated to a desired temperature, if it is wanted to serve it hot. As a precooked item, it can be sliced and served cold.

The way to know if cooked ham is bad is by how long it has been in the fridge or freezer. In the fridge, cooked ham can last 7 to 10 days. In the freezer, it will last 6 to 8 months. Cooked ham that is bad will also develop a bad smell and may appear slimy to the touch.
Pork...shaved ham is just ham sliced thin.
Large pieces of meat, such as ham, should be cooked on the low setting. A 9 pound ham should be cooked on low for approximately 8 hours. Most hams are precooked, and this will ensure that the entire ham is at a safe temperature.
