I just checked the submitted sample sent to the list and ClamAV detects the virus as 
Worm.Sobig.C using the current DB. Some other scanners don't detect the virus since 
it's a broken sample.

The reason that ClamAV don't detect it with the option --mbox is that the mail is a 
NDR from "AOL Postmaster"? This means that the virus is located in the transcript of 
the original mail.

To get ClamAV to detect the virus I had to extract the original mail and then extract 
the attactment. The newest ClamAV snapshot should be able to scan MIME formatted 
e-mails, but I've not tested this yet...

Best regards,
Diego d'Ambra

Thank you for using AntiVir.
