The trouble is, that takes time, time that has to be paid for (or donated free).
One option would be to submit the viruses to the likes of VirusTotal,
to see what the other vendor's call it. You, and others, could then
create a comparison page that allowed you to search for a virus
signature name and see what other products call it. Somebody else
used to manage a page like this, but I don't know if it's still being
done.
Not perfect I know, but right now I suspect it's the only way.
