Here's a spamassassin check that was posted on one of the rulesemporium
forums that is working well for me here, in case its of use to anyone:

# German sober.q test

describe SOBER_Q_SUBJECT        Contains a known Sober.Q subject
score SOBER_Q_SUBJECT 10.0

I believe it was derived from the Symantec analysis of the virus. 
Sorry - don't have the URL handy right now.
