Slow vps updates for submitted virus

[overblood]

Hi,
from yesterday in the morning  i found some viruses that are not
detected by Avast ( linux and Windows version - def 14031000 and
14031003 also ) and i reported these with the
tool /var/lib/avast/Setup/submit and with the link
http://www.avast.com/contact-us.php?subject=VIRUS-FILE .

Today 24 hours later the virus is not detected yet .

The virus arrives by mail with a double extension like:

unzip -l zip1.zip

Archive:  zip1.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
   300245  03-10-2014 10:14   IMG_07089_10032014.JPG.exe
---------                     -------
   300245                     1 file


Is it possible to have an option to block double extensions or activate
a more aggressive heuristic  ( of corse also for linux  avast 1.0.6 )?

These things happen very often   and the time between the submission of a news virus and the detection by the news vps cannot happen in 2/4 days or the infection are propagated.

Any suggestion how to report the virus more quickly ?

Thanks
