How about something like?

  SSLCipherSuite !ADH:!EXPORT56:DES-CBC-SHA:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
  SSLHonorCipherOrder on

Although, frankly.. I'd probably not set +LOW or +SSLv2.. or anything below MEDIUM.
Or containing MD5 :-S

  SSLCipherSuite !ADH:!MD5:DES-CBC-SHA:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
  SSLHonorCipherOrder on


But it doesn't really matter, the result of adding !MD5 will result in a very
limited set if  DES-CBC-SHA and RC4+RSA is your lowest entry:

  igalic@tynix ~ % openssl ciphers -v '!ADH:!MD5:DES-CBC-SHA:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM'
  DES-CBC-SHA             SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=DES(56)   Mac=SHA1
  RC4-SHA                 SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=RC4(128)  Mac=SHA1
  igalic@tynix ~ % openssl ciphers -v '!ADH:!MD5:DES-CBC-SHA:RC4+RSA'
  DES-CBC-SHA             SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=DES(56)   Mac=SHA1
  RC4-SHA                 SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=RC4(128)  Mac=SHA1
  igalic@tynix ~ % 



Adding MD5 makes the situation worse, IMO.

I think you need to fix this. This is a problem.
