I still think putting ClamAV on the SMTP server will kill a lot of the

Content filtering is evil, and conceptually broken. So this is not an
option.
A virus is a virus, once a signature is made it's effectivly dead. All these
phishing emails (i.e. paypal, Your Bank, ebay) are identical, and also have
signatures.
-- ClamAV reports them just like a virus alert. So it would at least kill
zombies
that are sending the same old junk over and over again.
The main problem with spam on this list is that some spammer actively
subscribes to the list again and again with different addresses (but all
related to paypal, or other similar services) every time I ban them.
Make it that a person can only register, once per day, per IP. That should
kill spammers that try to register 20 email addresses in one go.
