I wouldn't argue that more scanners will probably catch more malware,
but the fact remains that even if you use *all* the scanners you still
won't catch all the malware with them.

We've used Sanesecurity for fifteen years, and we submit all the
undetected malware automatically to the AV vendors which don't detect
them (including ClamAV, Sanesecurity and Securiteinfo).  I don't have
figures to hand separately for malware detections by the Sanesecurity
and Securiteinfo signatures, however I can say that the Sanesecurity
detection rates for malware seen in email here average *roughly* 70%.
Over the past three years we've averaged about 500 reports of failed
detection per month (spam and malware combined) sent to Sanesecurity.
