I had trouble sending the files... My first attempt was as DavidR said, to email from within the virus chest, but my ISP flagged it as follows:
Our e-mail content detector has just been triggered by a message you sent:
To: virus@avast.com
Subject: avast!
Date: Thu Mar 16 13:51:20 2006
One or more of the attachments (unp232219512.tmp) are on
the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and will not have
been delivered.
Consider renaming the files to avoid this constraint.
The virus detector said this about the message:
Report: Report: Dangerous attachment according to Microsoft Q883260 (unp232219512.tmp)

I restored, and also tried extracting - both to a floppy and to a special folder - but couldn't get them to go into a zip file - it always failed and I ended up with zip files with nothing in them - just a 1kB empty zip.
The only way I could do it was to extract them from the chest, and then stop the standard shield (while offline, of course). Then their icons reappeared as usual (instead of as a generic icon) and I could zip them and get them sent off in an email.
It was quite the pain.
Anyway, it's better than not being warned if a real virus were to surface
