Most of the Email.Malware signatures are "email" type 
signatures.   Clamav must be presented with a file recognizable as an 
email (Received: headers and other clues) for these signature to even 
be checked.

You must always present clamav with raw email files to use all the 
published signatures.  In addition to the SaneSecurity add-on 
signatures, most of the "official" clam Phish signatures are "email" 
type, along with several official trojan & worm signatures.

If you don't set amavisd-new to scan the full email message, you 
effectively disable all signatures requiring an email message.
