I'm certain that the answer to your first question is yes, as there are almost 
15,000 signatures in the current database that specifically address ransomware 
and have been since they first appeared. Most address the Windows platform. 
Ransomware detection and removal is no different from that used for any other 
type of malware.

I'm unaware of any testing by an independent organization that included 
specialized ransomware software and am certain that any such testing would vary 
by platform, and you haven't specified what platform(s) you are interested in.
