I will defend my opinion here, as I unwisely committed to this discussion, a while longer. As I am permitted to by the list charter, which I am defending, as it has been breached.
Trouble is, the charter applies to humans. Viruses don't read the charter before they send their messages. Basically, I read the charter to say "don't deliberately send viruses/worms to the list". The charter doesn't say anything about what will happen to automated attacks. Given that AV vendors tend to charge per user for their mail scanning products, it probably wouldn't be too financially viable for the list owners (who graciously host the list for free) to implement scanning anyway.
