Not to dis your excellent work, but has anyone contacted the corporate anti-virus companies and offered to share names with them? I might be being totally naive here (and I do assume that the "majors" wouldn't like to let the world know about a free product that's better than what they're selling), but it couldn't hurt to ask, right? Even if we could just get one of the majors to include the ClamAV alias, then we wouldn't have to re-invent the wheel. I just can't think of an easy way to automate the process. I mean, at SOME point, some human has to make the link between Netsky and SomeFool. It can be done in the ClamAV update e-mails, but not if ClamAV discovers the virus first and doesn't know what the commercials are going to call it. I dunno, just throwing stuff out there. Again, no disrespect. You've done some great work creating that database.
