>What about $spam_quarantine_method?  There are several parameters that control the quarantine, you might check the docs or the amavisd.conf-sample file.

grep quarantine /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf returns: 

$sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = undef; # spam level beyond which quarantine is off
$mailfrom_to_quarantine = ''; # null return path; uses original sender if undef
$virus_quarantine_method        = 'sql:';
$spam_quarantine_method         = 'sql:';
$banned_files_quarantine_method = 'sql:'; #Changed to non SQL for testing:
$bad_header_quarantine_method   = 'sql:';

(Lines beginning with # have been removed)

Banned files get blocked and end up in quarantine, spams still get through although they do get marked
With the relevant spam headers and the subject line is chaned.

Kind regards
