I suppose it depends on *their* definition of malware.

Example: If a person consciously installs an app on their BB, trusting it to be a legit game for instance, but that app does something malicious like harvest contacts. Wouldn't that be considered malware?

Unless I am missing something, that is very possible. But two out of three may be a rather high assumption.
