VX Heavens Virus Collection vs ClamAV

I downloaded the virus collection offered by VX Heavens
(http://vx.netlux.org/faq.php#whole) which is just over 66,000 viruses,
spyware, worms, etc... With the latest updates from ClamAV, just under
half of the viruses were detected. The guy who puts this collection
together uses Kaspersky to determine whether it is a virus or not, so
the collection is detected 100% by Kaspersky. This would be a really
great collection to start getting virus defs out of (as soon as I get my
books on virus research, I will help with getting virus defs).

Any thoughts?

Brandon, great initiative.
I had sent the link of this site in the past for clamav guys but I
guess nothing were done... Not complaining, just reporting.

I have interest to have its content aware for clamav as well.
If there is anything I can help, plz let me know.

Regards, Neto.
