All and all it has been way down for me as well. In mid 2005 I was averging around 100K-200K viruses a month (with AVAFTERJM). That has been dropping and dropping. In 2006 the highest for any give month I had was 22K. This year I have had nothing over 2,500. With running AVAFTERJM a lot of viruses also get tagged as spam. In 2003 we averaged around 400K+ viruses per month (which dropped by more than half when AVAFTERJM was enabled). Other things like greylisitng also helps twart viruses.
Come to think about it I can't remember the last major virus trying to come in (mydoom?) that we had to deal with.

There are days where I barely get any virusses via e-mail. Most of what get's caught is malfomed mail, 99% spam. I just did a test to see if my virusscanners are still working correctly, eicar is still being caught by both F-prot and Sophos so all seems to be woking. Both scanners are also correctly updating their database.
