...then speak to F-prot! Qmail-Scanner *isn't* a virus scanner - so it can't
be to blame here - unless F-prot needs the original filename to make a match
(which I doubt!)

Actually, I've just thought of a possible reason. I don't use f-prot so I
can't vouch for the validity of the Q-S config for it. Check the code and
the f-prot documentation, and make sure f-prot is being called with enough
options to make it scan ALL files, and not just executables. With all the
filename mangling going on, you can understand why that's an issue...

Obviously let us know how it goes.
