Correct me if I am wrong, but ClamAV will detect the first match and continue 
to next file or stop if there is only one file (probably the case with your 
email-filter). There might be a way to control this, which is needed in case of 
for example scanning and removing infections from mbox.

Years ago there has been --mbox -option

Why do you want to do this? Don't you want to delete or quarantine infected 
emails if ClamAV detects any malware from emails? You can at least disable 
features when scanning.
