In theory, I'd expect Razor to be able to handle this.  I'm not sure how it 
handles picking out parts of a message.  There were some problems in early 
versions of Razor 2 where hashes of Outlook Express stationery were ending 
up in the database.

Still, it's an interesting twist on an idea.  After all the requests for 
SpamAssassin to detect viruses, now here's a suggestion to have a virus 
scanner detect spam.
