Yes this is the problem we also observe on our testmachines - exiscan relies on 
the ripmime-library for mimedecoding and imho this library still has some 
problems with malformed messages(sadly viruses tend to generate such messages :- 
) ).
There has just been a new maintenance release of exiscan(4.10-17) with should 
help with some of these issues (by incorporating an updated ripmime-library)
