I found my problem, and am providing my fix, for those who may be suffering 
from a similar problem.

The problem is due to the space " " that is logged at the front of the 
virusname.

        MDLOG,k06A1Q4u015665,virus, HTML/[EMAIL PROTECTED],190.48.14.42,...

The pattern in event/mimedefang.pl/general:
        m/^MDLOG,\S+?,(\S+?),(\S*?),(\S*?),(.*?),(.*?),(.*)$/

does not catch this, I updated it to (large hammer approach):
        m/^MDLOG,\S+?,(\S+?),\s*(\S*?),(\S*?),(.*?),(.*?),(.*)$/

and it now works as desired.

Hope this helps someone.
