I'm not sure about the European branch, but people here buy Agdia home test kits.
I think these home test kits only test for two most common orchid viruses, but there are many many different kinds of virus that infect orchids.
Well, in the end, if something looks suspicious and drive you nuts, getting rid of it and finding peace of mind is the best thing to do.

This one was a freebie from a vendor and it said "new type from China" on the tag, so this particular type probably won't be easy to get again. I'm not really into villosum, but I kept it because I wanted to see what it looked like when it flowered.
I don't regret tossing it though. I even got a migraine because of all the worry.
I'm in contact with Agdia and they have those tests for the two most common orchid viruses, but they have other tests, too. The problem is, which of the more uncommon viruses could it be? I'll see if they can help me narrow it down a bit. They seem very helpful.
