About those tests, you should know that the testing orgs are using an array a computers with up-to-date AV solutions, and then making them all go to e.g. websites dealing malware right then as soon as they find a new sources of malware attacks.
I honestly cannot imagine a better way to objectively test how well the products fare against attacks against an average Internet user.
Edit: If I was not clear, nobody tests with historical samples anymore. Only live attacks are being used for tests.
