The only way I can think of doing this is with a Custom Function, which 
you could hook onto the "Information Header" configuration option. Apart 
from returning the string to be used, it could also look through the 
%{$message->{virusreports}} and pull out the reports from each of the 
virus scanners you use. Then you could add whatever you want into the 
headers by using the $global::MS->{mta}->AddHeader() function.

You will need to know a bit of perl to be able to do this.

If you want to hire me as a consultant, I'll write it for you if you can 
give me an accurate spec. But I don't come cheap, there are bills to pay :-)
