Haven't found anything on F-prot's homepage talking about "macintosh".

On the Mcafee virus library I've found the following explanation in a
MacOS-Virus description:

"Please use the latest updates of Virex for cleaning. If this threat is
detected on a Macintosh please use Virex to repair it. If the infected
object was found on a non-Apple file server it can be cleaned using
Virex from a Macintosh client. "

and

"Infected Emails (usually in BinHex format) will be currently either
deleted or quarantined depending on the configuration of mail scanner.
Quarantined mails should be transferred to a Macintosh and cleaned using
Virex."



I think the best way to test this is to search and submit a real mac
virus. Independent if the recipient has a Mac or a PC the virus should
be catched on the server.

Anyone know from where to get a real Mac virus?
