    Hi ,
            For Antivirus email gateways following tests can be done
    http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/
    http://www.webmail.us/testvirus

    For compressed virus testing visit - http://www.web-av.com/
    Virus downloads - http://vx.netlux.org/vl.php

    Open relay tests can be made on the SMTP server and best way to test spam would be subscribe spam from the wild for few mail ids and check for its effectiveness and also make notes of number of false positives.

    My 2 cents

    Regards
    Prashant
