But wouldn't that waste cpu cycles when it has already been confirmed
that the said file is infected?   I mean, if say you were scanning your
system and you find an infected(non-quarantined) file; would you care
which virus(es) infected it?   I for one would immediately delete
it.  In the case of automatic scanning by clamdscan, I would set
mimedefang to delete it as well.   That'd be my gut reaction to
any infected files.

However, with that said, I think it would be interesting to
see the statistics of whether or not such files(infected by
multiple viruses) do pass through the system.
