Read up on the "unseen" router option[1], which would let you add a new
router in the Exim config to run procmail for archiving and then the
execution will continue through the routers to deliver as normal.

Your procmail router could be quite simple, perhaps copy
the virtual_domains one to begin with and set the data to be the
procmail pipe command.
