As far as I'm aware, all of these tests do not actually involve viruses (or
even the Eicar test virus) - therefore you wouldn't expect an Anti-Virus
program to be triggered by them. They are tests of other things to do with
email which a mail server administrator might well want to restrict.
MailScanner, for example, as a wrapper around ClamAV, deals with a number of
these, but it is inappropriate to expect the Anti-Virus engine ClamAV to do
them itself.

If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
