This is the default "Clean Header Value".

And this is the default "Sign Clean Messages" signature. Both of these
refer only to viruses, bad filenames, etc. They don't say anything about
spam.

Was the message given a "high spam" score and was your

X-Spam-Status: Yes

header added? If so, this is all as expected for a high scoring spam
that contains no virus or other 'dangerous content'.
