I'm starting to think that the only way this is going to stop is a speed-camera like solution: make passing on an email virus a criminal offence (which arguably it already is under the CMA; it's just a question of strict liability vs. mens rea). Make it a fineable offence with strict liability and let the police or a quango rake in the fines. When people start getting prosecuted for clicking on attachments they might stop doing it. If not, at least we can tax stupidity.
This is a rather Daily Mail solution, but I'm wondering what part of "don't do that" people don't understand.
