Experience says all scanners in the @av_scanners will be used to scan
a message (you can verify by temporarily raising $log_level). However,
when a detectable virus is sent through, whether they are all called
or not is determined by the $first_infected_stops_scan setting:

# stop anti-virus scanning when the first scanner detects a virus?
#$first_infected_stops_scan = 1; # default is false, all scanners in a section
# are called
