filter() should be called once for *each* MIME part.
In addition, newer versions of MIMEDefang let you pass the
original MIME message as one big file to the virus-scanner for
extra protection -- in case there is a weird MIME issue, you
let both MIME::Tools and the virus scanner's parser have a crack
at it.
