Only mail that reaches a recipient will have the subject line
rewritten. There is no point to mark spam that is quarantined because
if you should need to release a message from quarantine, you would be
releasing ham, therefore you would not want the subject line marked as
spam. There are other considerations:

The entire quarantined message (with any attachment(s)) will be in the
quarantine. Are you saying the message in the quarantine is no longer
complete? If so, I would suspect that some other program has modified the
message after (or possibly while) the message was sent to the mailbox.

From an earlier post, Mark said:
"Amavis* project(s) so far stayed on the position that a mail body
should not be changed apart from some added/edited header fields
(partly because we don't want to be culpable when something goes wrong).
While I did give-in somewhat when I introduced a simple form of
'mail  defanging' (wrapping a message/rfc822 MIME container around
original mail in certain cases), I have no immediate plans to refine/extend 
such functionality."
