This is a SpamAssassin issue, but generally it appears your Bayes
could use some manual training:
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/dist/doc/sa-learn.html

Run sa-learn as the amavisd-new user, e.g. :
su vscan -c 'sa-learn --spam /path/to/spam'

If the spam is not on your amavisd-new system, see if you can save the
spam as plain text files (that are readable as such) and transfer them
to your amavisd-new system using something like WinSCP.

Having the mail in a format usable by sa-learn is a frequent topic on
the SA list. It's not an issue when the mail store is on the same server
as SpamAssassin, but often difficult when it is not. For example:
