Spam Viruses

I have some emails coming in that are being caught by Sophos as

>>> Virus 'Mal/Phish-A' found in file ./1QXX4J-0005TS-O7/PayPal -
Restore Your Account.htm

And in MailScanner.conf I have 

Virus Names Which Are Spam = Sane*UNOFFICIAL HTML/* *Phish*

So I would expect the above email to be tagged as a spam-virus.
However, it is not.  Looking at the code, it looks to me like spam
viruses are only checked for ClamAV and Fprot6.  Is this an oversight,
or by design?

Using MailScanner 4.83.5.
