twice in ~3000 mails.. I am ASSUMING that this was due to the fact the
clam was probably being updated at that time (thereby creating a lock
asking MS not to use it).

Also in the same result, thrice did uvscan detect a virus when both clam
/ bdc failed to detect it.

Again in the same result, 10 times clam detected a virus when both
uvscan / bdc failed to detect it (all attributed to phishing detection).
So this contradicts my previous statement that clam detects more viruses
compared to uvscan.

Some statistics for viruses detected over a period of 12 hours that you
might find interesting.
