I would suggest either your option above or including bad sized
attachments as a silent virus type. Certainly I can't see any good reason
to notify senders that they have sent a file with nothing in it and even
less reason to quarantine an empty file.

The too-small option that I posted works fine for me. These zero byte
files are from bounce notices that have truncated the full attachment.
