Even if it is a "legitmate" mail server, I cannot think of any reason to trust it if it does not have functioning antivirus software running.

I tried this. Turns out a shocking number of ISPs and businesses don't bother running AV software on their outbound servers and just blindly relay their users' mail.

Well, there is yet another possibility:

The AV software the ISP is running did simply not detected that particular malware.
