The antispam plugin is triggered when you manually move a message via
the imap server interface. Sieve rules are triggered only when dovecot
delivery agent puts a message in the maildir (or mbox). So they never
cross paths: moving delivered messages around, with or without antispam
plugin, never triggers sieve rules.

The way that you could implement this, would be by changing the source
code of the antispam plugin. However, while your use case is valid, I
think this behaviour would be very dependant on the end-user's preference...
