Same observation here.

90-95% of my traffic is some sort of crap (spam, phishing/fraud, 
viruses, attachments with dangerous filenames), yes.

But a very very small percentage of that is detected viruses and 
attachments with dangerous filenames (we reject both during SMTP).  The 
VAST majority of what we're rejecting with ClamAV these days is 
phishing/fraud stuff.
