I wonder how ClamAV would have faired had the SaneSecurity
and MSRBL 
signatures been included when tested.

These results are so cursory that they are meaningless. The
Virus 
Bulletin is the most reputable AV testing organization and
their results 
mean something as they provide extensive data about their
testing 
scenarios, results and detailed analysis of the pros and
cons of 
different engine approaches.  These results do not mention
many other 
important factors such as scan speed, memory utilization and

effectiveness in different categories such as ploymorphic
viruses.

I would ignore this listing if I really cared about virus
scanners and 
read the VB results.

One has to remember that ClamAV focuses first on viruses
spread via email.
Since in our corner of the world that is what we are
concerned with,
I'm sure there would be much less of a discrepancy if the
tests only
dealt with that type of malware.
