Every version that has $spam_quarantine_to properly defined (as you
do) should quarantine spam above $sa_kill_level_deflt unless something
else in the config is not set right, or it is not able to write a
file due to permission problems, or something is in place to delete
the quarantined messages. I would insure that every instance of
"$spam_quarantine_method" is commented out, and that there is only
one "$spam_quarantine_to" defined.

I would
grep spam_quarantine_to /path_to/amavisd.conf
grep spam_quarantine_method /path_to/amavisd.conf

and I would also
chown -R vscan:vscan /var/spool/amavis/virusmails/

If necessary, temporarily change $log_level to 5 and send a message
that will score above $sa_kill_level_deflt.
