Our signatures Worm.Bagle.F-zippwd* are based on the "real" contents of
mail messages (stream of characters as they are), while amavisd-new (and
probably amavis) "divide" messages to parts and decode them separately,
hence ClamAV doesn't get the original stream of chars.

Not only dinosaurs. Amavisd-new also does so. These scripts are simply
"too intelligent" ;-).

There is a patch (it was posted to the amavis-user ML) to development
version of Amavisd-new which enables scanning of full intact messages,
but I haven't tried it yet.
