Here's an idea for something you can do:  
	formail -s spamassassin < mboxfile > mboxfile.tagged

Formail (part of the procmail package) will take the input mboxfile and
separate it into individual messages, and then run spamassassin for each
message.  I've redirected the output to mboxfile.tagged.

Then, open up the mboxfile.tagged in your favorite mail program, sort by
subject, and delete (or move) all the spam.
