Amavisd calls SpamAssassin. The tests that SA uses is not determined by amavisd.
What you are experiencing is not possible. Unless the amavsd user has
different SA preferences than the global, the call on SA should be the
same as the call from the commandline.

These settings belong in SA's local.cf. All add_header options are
ignored because amavisd makes the header edits, not SA.

The amavisd.conf-sample that comes with the amavisd-new distribution
covers all spam related configuration variables. Maybe the particular
spam is not getting hits on the DCC or Pyzor tests? Try using the
GTUBE test spam, it should hit all checksum networks.
