Three things
1) The support for libcurl is only in the development version
2) You need to recompile libclamav/mbox.c with FOLLOWURLS defined
3) The reason it doesn't work with your example is that currently it only scans html \
formatted email. So try it again with an e-mail with contents such as:
...
 Content-Type: text/html
