Newer versions have better integration with clamav. In particular, MD
now places a copy of the raw message in the working directory so that
when Clamd scans the directory, it will scan the files MD has decoded
*and* the original message. This way if the message contains malformed
MIME that MD and Clam handle differently, or if it uses an attachment
format that MD doesn't recognize, there's a better chance of catching
it. (You will have to add the function call to your filter after
upgrading, and make sure that Clamd is set to check mail files.)
