Thanks Santiago, please find more details below.

Best regards,

Yes, I see the alert written to alerts.log (pulled the alert below out of 
the archive from yesterday) and email alerts are working for other rules. I 
also restarted ossec but to no avail. Strange! 

ossec-alerts-23.log.gz:
Rule: 100130 (level 12) -> 'SCEP malware alert' Feb 23 20:37:00 ossec-svr 
SCEP[26715]: Malware alert: client2.domain.com Exploit:Java/CVE-2012-1723!jar 
Number of infections: 1 Last detection time(UTC time): 8/5/2013 10:42:41 AM 
file:_C:\Users\toho\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\9\748789-
14f29c54 Quarantine Succeeded

ossec.conf:
 <alerts>
   <log_alert_level>1</log_alert_level>
   <email_alert_level>7</email_alert_level>
 </alerts>
