Just a quick statistical analyse shows some TLD's based on attacks

*.(top|info) = 3 times *.(xyz|colocrossing) = 2 times *.(stream|cc)

But again, while maybe more 'virulent' in nature, as they are cheaper to throw away, .com|.org|.net are still very common.

Don't think it is right to penalize one TLD outright personally, even know several legitimate companies with .cc domain names..

Of course, this is only against one small corpus, and I am sure that others might have actual links to larger statistical analyse..

Maybe the guys from Microsoft and Google can share their numbers from their spam detection systems, and TLD's..

Not something we put too much attention into monitoring.. We dont' see that it brings that much value..

I know in some of our spam tools there is a 'slight' increase in weight maybe on some TLD's but usually in conjunction with a specific spammer's or spammer engine's techniques and habits..

Assuming everything structural is working correctly as you indicated
below, the problem might be with your domain name.  .cc is perhaps the
most abused TLD there is, so much so that google doesn’t even return
search results if they’re .cc domains.  Many anti-spam systems will
reject a mail outright if it contains a .cc domain, as the false
positive to malicious ratio makes it an easy choice.
