You could do your virus scans and get a list of infected files. /var/spool/imap/domain/n/namething.net/a/user/alvin/12345. /var/spool/imap/domain/n/namething.net/a/user/alvin/19945. and so on. Then using Mail::IMAPClient and a perl script you can find the message in the users folder and delete it. The UID that IMAPClient returns maps to the cyrus file name(Well at least in my tests) or you could search on the message-id. Its a bit hokey but it would work.
