I'd say that the huge address space makes life impossible for scanning worms.
The advent of P2P has made "Valid node discovery" easier than just scanning. Damned technology and its incremental improvements. :)
That doesn't mean that there can be no successful scanning at all with IPv6, but it needs to be highly targeted if you want results the same year, so just pumping random numbers in the destination address field like SQL slammer did so successfully doesn't cut it in IPv6.
So maybe said scanning won't take down LANs anymore. Adrian
