Arbor Networks frequently releases papers with surveys of malware, you 
might try tooling around their website (www.arbornetworks.com), 
especially the technical blogs. Full disclosure: they're my bread and 
butter.  These reports will generally be focused on DDoS and similar 
threats, because that's what they do.

Most of the major anti-virus providers also release such surveys.  
Kaspersky in particular releases an annual survey, and Symantec may.
