This does indeed sound like a kaspersky problem.
Have you tried
         cd /tmp
         /usr/lib/MailScanner/kaspersky-wrapper -IO .
to see if it detects a virus okay? (Don't forget the "." on its own at the
end of the command)

Can you put a couple of viruses into /tmp (preferably one in a zip file and
one not) and send me the output of the above command?
