What do you do to push that last 5% or so of missed spam over the threshold from nonspam to spam?


You don't.  Hit delete.

If AI is ever truly developed, then your computer may be able to more accurately determine spam from nonspam, but for a lot of spam where spamassassin isn't given really good cues it is nearly impossible for the computer to know the message is spam. If it is coming from clean machines with clean headers and doesn't use a lot of words/phrases that your bayes filter triggers, it can't. Getting 95% is the purpose of spamassassin and any good anti-spam program. There are a variety of bad measures you could implement, but then you'd likely start getting some false positives as well.
