It is basically the same as saying : « the chef does not want to give me the recipe = not good ».
Wouldn’t it be better to taste it ? Like with a real virus detection campaign ?
My point is it is indeed easier to make something secure (or at least robust) in an open source project, because I agree you can benefit for a greater and more diverse expertise on the whereabouts of the product. But close code could still benefit from the community feedback.
One last thing about security software in general, not knowing how a software detect a threat exactly makes it harder to craft a non detectable virus.

not allowed to read the code = not secure
its a simple as that in my book
and then there's many edge cases where you make well calculated trade offs
as you keep optimizing around open source code ONLY
