And this says MailScanner got the report from clamd

Yet this says that MailScanner didn't recognize that
INetMsg.SpamDomain-2m.e2ma_net.UNOFFICIAL(56c0464fb2737c4622779d0b765fb23d:29099)
was a spam virus.

I'm running the same clamav/clamd and it works for me. I do note that my
log entries do not contain things like
(56c0464fb2737c4622779d0b765fb23d:29099) (apparently the signature that
matched). Try adding * after UNOFFICIAL in your various "Virus Names
Which Are Spam" patterns, e.g. INetMsg.SpamDomain*UNOFFICIAL* instead of
just INetMsg.SpamDomain*UNOFFICIAL or possibly remove "LogVerbose yes"
and/or "ExtendedDetectionInfo yes" (I don't know which controls this)
from clamd.conf.
