FYI, there have been a number of cases where viruses were discovered by an
AV company (such as Norton/Symantec or McAfee), and the desktop virus
scanner would catch it, but the mail server virus scanner would not for
some reason (such as unusual or corrupt MIME headers or encoding).
However, I can't imagine that it would take over 5 months to fix the
problem (typically it takes them several days to a week).
