Probably because people didn't consider it to be a SpamProbe question.

I have been running clamscan followed by SpamProbe for years now and have
never encountered this issue.  I have not used clamassassin so I have no
idea what that really does, I simply run clamscan directly to set a header
and reroute virus mails then run spamprobe on anything not identified as a
virus.

If you are seeing emails destroyed then you should use a rule in your
procmailrc to save a backup of every email for a while then when one gets
destroyed look for the original in your backup folder.  That way you might
be able to see something interesting about that email and test that email
directly by running clamscan (or whatever) on it by hand.

No ideas.  As I said above I have always run clamscan first and then
spamprobe.  I do train on the virus mails by having cron run a spamprobe
train-spam of the virus folder.

All the best,
