The output parsers don't extract the name of the virus (except F-Prot and
F-Secure if I remember rightly).
The scanner report lines are stored though, so you could try and extract it
from there, just for the scanners you are using.

while(($filename, $report) = each %{$message->{virusreports}}) {
   push @allreports, split(/\n/, $report);
}
# You now have 1 virus report in each element of @allreports.
# So, knowing the output structure of your particular scanner(s),
# you can pull out the name of the virus.
