Infected Messages Not Being Spam Checked

I am having a problem with Virus infected messages not being spam checked and getting delivered to users.
My configuration is MS 4.78.17-1 running on CentOS 5.4 with spamassassin 3.2.5-1 from the CentOS distribution, clamav 0.95.3-1and razor-agents 2.84-1 from rpmforge, pyzor 0.5.0 and dcc 1.3.115. I am using the following additional spamassassin rules; Sought, OpenProtect and a couple of custom ones. All messages with a spam score of > 5.0 and <10.0 are redirected to a special mailbox. Anything >10.0 are deleted. This works great as I have a false positive rate of 0.16% and a false negative rate of 0.87% (if I exclude the viruses that passed). None of the false positives are high scoring spam >10.0.
Here is an example of a message that was not spam checked:

If I run spamassassin against a quarantined copy of the message here is it's score:

As you can see it's greater than 10.0 which means it would have been deleted.
Can anyone help me? I need to get these type of messages spam checked.
Thanks.
Mike
