Thank you all for the replies.  Just wanted to make sure my approach was logical, and VT is a reliable reference point for clamav comparison scanning.

"millions of samples" received daily, wow!  But how many are unique?  Or, putting on my "pretend bad guy" hat - if I was a virus writer I would submit a few thousand red herrings to clamav every day.  Must be challenging to keep up and I can never complain about a free tool.
thanks again,
Chris
