This is what the null body recipe is for.  It is canonically impossible to both 
suppress the data the antivirus gateway stripped AND make it possible to 
recreate the previous message in a way that the hash of an earlier 
Message-Instance header will still match.

The alternative, as ARC has demonstrated, is a trust-based system rather than 
an evidence based system.  The null body recipe is just that, a way that 
switches from evidence based to "trust me".
