Sophos does. At least it should, so I suspect that there's something
funny going on.

Were they all in Mac-specific archives? Does it detect them if you try it
from the command line?

Sophos is actually available for the Mac too, and all the various platform
versions should use the same engine and detect the same viruses.

Which viruses were they? How old are they?
