Hi David, I feel your pain, brother. A problem like this can quickly destroy your credibility and your list. Right after starting the one list that I run, a problem such as yours cropped up.
I set the maximum message size to 80k and the virus propagation instantly ceased. I've seen infected attachments in the 90k range, so don't go larger. You could go smaller if you like; I can't because there are legitimate reasons to post attachments to my list.
Lotsa luck.
