This is certainly true for postmaster, but I think it would be
RFC-compliant to reject viruses and spam on abuse or security.

Well, it does. The recipients are accepted here, but the mail is rejected
in the DATA ACL later on. To accept all mail to postmaster regardless of
their content, you have to set a variable in the RCPT ACL, because
local_part is not available in the DATA ACL.
RCPT:
accept local_parts = postmaster
domains = +local_domains
set acl_m0 = postmaster
DATA:
accept condition = ${if eq{$acl_m0}{postmaster} {1}{0}}
Now all mail to postmaster passes your filters. Messages with multiple
recipients and postmaster among them pass as well, but that should not be
a problem. See exiscan-acl-examples.txt.gz section 6 for further details
on multiple recipients.
