I personally use DrWeb and have the same problem in that Dr Web will
detect the virus but will not be able to tell me exactly which message
it's associated with. It will only tell me which message base is involved.
I then search for the attachment.
Of course, if you have the attachments stored separately, Dr Web will
locate the virus. It will again not be able to tell you which message it
came from.
HM> OK, but if I store the attachments "in the message bodies" ?
Same problem.

HM> ? Wrong ?
AFAIK and you still will not be able to tell.
Wouldn't the anti-virus program have to be optimised to handle TB message
bases in order to locate and extract just the virus from the message base
file? Otherwise it will delete the entire message base when you ask that
the infected file be deleted.
The only way I can see you knowing exactly which message is infected is
when the message is scanned upon receipt or you manually scan attachments.
