Your AV correctly identified the bad attachment - generally these don't
even get as far as SA in my setup

This all depends on the glue used and ordering within your MTA and how
it reacts to malware attachments


I don't have a lot of control over my setup as it's a hosted VPS. The AV is locally on my PC so comes late in the process...


That might explain why there's no valid Received header in the whole message...

It LOOKS like that is being generated by a PHP script on the host that's delivering it, which appears to be running some atrocious mail handler calling itself 'nullmailer' that doesn't do Received headers in any useful way. It might help to know what the 'x.x.x.x' was, but I suspect not much. The mess of headers MAY be secondary to your AV mangling the message and reconstructing it without the original headers.
