I frequently get messages from virus filters telling me that my
attachment (signature.asc) has been removed as it's thought to contain a
virus.  For the virus end, it'll take time for people to start coding
proper virus scanners that don't recognize .asc as a virus.

As far as signed mail getting picked up by spam filters, I would think
that talking to the admins would be your best bet.  But again, in time
spam filters will recognize that pgp signature does not equal spam.
