If you look at a raw email (containing the virus), you'll find a multi-part message with one of the parts containing the base64 encoded attachment. There is some information that tells the system what is attached, and what it's called. You will see a line that literally contains name="my_doc.p\i\f" (\ inserted to clear filters).
The asterisk is part of a regular expression that says "a double quote followed by zero or more of any character followed by a period-pee-eye-eff-double quote". The first period is not escaped, and is a RE wildcard matching any character; the asterisk specifies how many should be matched.
