No idea how easy this would be to implement but here goes: As well as the virus signature databases, how about having an alias database which would contain a record for each virus, indicating its ClamAV name along with those used by the more mainstream AV software like Sophos, McAfee etc. Then have the scanning software (clamd etc.) accept a commandline switch to indicate your preferred naming. That way, if you also use Sopos/McAfee/whatever on internal servers you could get ClamAV to report an infection using the same naming as internally. Of course, as the Clam sigs are usually ahead of the rest, the aliases for a particular virus would all be set to ClamAV's chosen name. Then, as the other vendors get their signatures out the aliases could be updated accordingly.
