Two things I immediately noticed:

smf at laptop-smf:~$ host 57.6.196.93.zen.spamhaus.org
57.6.196.93.zen.spamhaus.org has address 127.0.0.11
Consider using the Spamhaus Zen RBL at the MTA level - both of these
spam messages were delivered to your MTA by consumer DSL lines which
this will prevent. It will also mean that you machine have less mail to
scan.

The default score for BAYES_00 is not -9; and that coupled with
autolearning has likely compounded your problem.
Hitting BAYES_00 on this message means that your bayes database is
garbage and has learnt messages incorrectly. You might as well nuke it
and start over (sa-learn --clear).
I ran just the headers you posted into a well trained bayes database
here with simply 'Test' in the message body and it scored BAYES_60.

Steve.
