I understand the reason for your request. And, it's admirable that you want to insightfully inform your user base.
However, looking for live virus or Trojans is not the way to do it. If one wants to show how things can go horribly wrong, controlled environment or not, this is likely a good start. What I'd suggest is to make use of the EICAR test string. All AV programs that I know of will respond to it, and will respond as if a real virus had been detected. IMHO, this is the safe a proper way to do virus and Trojan awareness training for user and response team staffs.
