Common sense is best defense here. Many anti-malware programs are trojan's themselfs. Even if anti-malware program is legit, its never guaranteed it will be able to protect you!
You doing it good, maybe a little bit overkill with not even actually reading emails but if you are using email software like outlook or others it can protect you against 0-day explits on email software.
In the end there is no limit to how secure you can be, you can always spend some extra time to do something more secure way. Laziness is biggest enemy then

Good idea would also be NOT to use single email service provider (example Gmail)
but use alternatives for work and crypto related stuff. (Tutanova, Mailfence...)
read the full email address of the sender.
And do not expose all your email addresses in public.
