I've no idea is this is natively possible, but you could for example
periodically run a script on your xymon server along the lines of:

==== begin ====
#!/bin/bash
for LINE in $(/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "xymondboard
test=c_.* color=purple fields=hostname,testname"); do

HOSTNAME=$(echo $LINE | cut -d '|' -f 1)
TESTNAME=$(echo $LINE | cut -d '|' -f 2)

/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "status+24h
$HOSTNAME.$TESTNAME red some error message if you like"

done
==== end ====

to find the hostname and testname for all purple c_.* tests and send a
corresponding red status message with a lifetime of 24h (or whatever
length you prefer).
