i dont think you will find any info on 0day worms / virii.
if you are interested in this (why?), then you will need to join a virii group on irc, and help out there until you get on one of the teams.
It depends why you are interested in them...and if you are prepared to get involved in building / testing illegal code.
Personally, i have a strong dislike for worms, as they cause huge financial damage to businesses, and simply make M$ patch holes that could be used for other purposes...

Wise words
I totally agree on that, look at the MSBlaster worm, it destroyed a great security hole, the RPC!
So, please consider if you really want to explore the world of virii..

port 1214 is used for kazaa, a file-sharing program. if you see that port being used then you might want to check your bandwidth usage as well!

Don't rely on Symantec's avcenter alone. Go to all the virus vendors web sites and find their virus info page and use them all, as different vendors will find/confirm info at different times...
Personally, I use Dshield to monitor net activity, which is an awsome resource for keeping an eye on worms (and vuln scanning to some degree). http://www.dshield.org/
To have a more hands-on approach, you could search google for info on capturing viruses/worms by means of honeypots or the like.. you can track down info like this : http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/honeyd/msblast.html (I used the search term: honeypots capture virus worms but that probably wasn't the most successful query).
