what's the actual detection rate for viruses and malware?

It's a surprizingly hard to answer that. The set of virus change every day, and is always unknown.

most of AV detection is still based around hash matching.

Things are not that clear cut here either. The most usefull matching is hash based. Anti-virus also use other algos, they are just less reliable.
