One thing that has helped me tremendously with email virusses is ZoneAlarm Pro. It has a built in functionality to rename the extension of any "dangerous" attachment when it comes in through email. This makes it impossible for the attachment to get opened accidentally or even through the use of an outlook express bug since Windows uses the extension to determine how to open a file. And if you DO want to open/run the attachment, you can always rename it back.
