First I don't think you want {fail}, but merely fail. {fail} would in
fact return the string 'fail', which, if I'm interpreting your stuff
correctly, is not what you want.

The condition is 'file foo must exist AND string bar must match looked up string'.
You can rewrite your condition without the AND.

condition = ${if condition {true-replacement} fail}

with

condition = exists {/usr/local/etc/exim/domains/virus22.com/passwd}
true-replacement = 
  {eq \
      {qwerty} \
      { ${extract {1} {:} \
           {${lookup{shikut}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/domains/virus22.com/passwd}{$value}fail}} \
         } \
      } \
  }

Well the exim spec seems to be quite positive about condition B not being
evaluated if condition A is false (when checking A and B). However, I
remember having encountered similar problems as you describe, this is
why you have to write your stuff differently.
