Virus scan result shows problem shock horror!

Recent virus scans using Clamav with Avscan front end have shown a
virus: Phishing.Heuristics.Email.SpoofedDomain as infecting my mailbox
This presumably relates to a phishing E-mail I got recently purporting
to be from Monster (which is weird because I'm not registered with them)
which I deleted. However, it still shows up on scans.
Should I regard this as a problem and if so, what, short of deleting the
entire inbox, should I do about it?
My mail program is Mozilla-Thunderbird if it matters.
NB. I am aware of the strand of opinion that it is unecessary to scan
for viruses on Linux partitions. It is not an opinion I share for
reasons I have stated before. I have no wish to get bogged down in
fruitless debates on this subject so kindly spare me any lectures.
