Have Google’s spam filtering tools ever been accused of infringing a patent?

Yes. Google’s spam filtering tools have been accused of infringing a patent in at least two different lawsuits.

Interval Licensing LLC v. Google Inc., 2-11-cv-00711 (WAWD)
and
InNova v. 3Com Corporation et al., 2-10-cv-00251 (TXED)

While the Interval Licensing case focuses on Google’s Gmail spam filter, the InNova case includes Postini, Gmail, and “software and/or hardware used to filter e-mail sent to the domain ‘google.com.’”
