Some spams are pretty short.  Something to the effect of "hey check this
out" and a link.  And when they are that short, Bayes is usually the
thing that tags them, since there isn't much else to go off of. 

If you disabled Bayes for very short messages, I think you'd see a lot
of one-liner spams slipping through.  The better solution would be to
more accurately train your Bayes.  

Just my 0.02.
