Request for assistance in malware identification

Having stopped doing formal reviews a while back, I've recently started a couple 
on some commercial products.

However, I also, finally, installed ClamWin, and have found it ... interesting.  
(Anybody know how to get more speed out of the thing?  Does it *really* always 
choke to death on CAB files, or only those on Office install disks?)

Anyway, it has found some ... interesting stuff.  And while I know that some of 
them are legit, I'd like to test out some others.  I know some of you have access to 
systems that will run tests against a variety of scanners, so, if you can contact me 
separately, I'd like to be able to send some pieces along for testing.

Also, two of the items are a wee bit confidential, so I'd like some assurances that 
there will be no peeking at contents (other than doing the malware scanning).

Thanks in advance.  (Isn't that one of the silly business buzzphrases?)
