Hi Marc, I would say off hand that amavis and mailscanner aren't the same thing as mimedefang.
Sure they can strap in clamd and spamd but they are more products than frameworks. Mimedefang would likely frustrate non programmers because it doesn't strap things in by default and using it you need to write code pretty well. Amavisd-new is like an amazingly good paint by numbers set while MD is a set of professional paints brushes and canvas. Both can make amazing paintings (or screw them up royally)... So MD is likely bad if you want to just inspect zips and scan for spam and rely on those items. But wow can I do a lot with items that is way outside the box. Anyway likely treading into religious territory so before I trigger a war, let me say I like both MD and amavisdnew. I haven't use mailscanner much but have always respected Julian's work. They all very much have a place in the world of fighting basted spammers!
