I'm wondering about one particular form of detection.
I once had a vampire in the military that I stationed in a well which I subsequently sealed off. Granted, he'd already gained some swimmer levels by falling in a river while fighting gobboes, but in theory, would it be possible to draft all immigrants and set a station for them underwater, whereupon only the vampires would actually submerge?

Nickname suspected vampires, and look at the description of their (and if they don't have any, other dwarf's) gods. It will say something along the line of, 'Had temple profaned by NICKNAME and cursed him to prowl the night in search of blood'.

I've seen this on most of the vampires I've identified.  They tend to have the deity that cursed them on their relationship list.  This becomes stupid easy if you're running Therapist, because it lists the vamp's true name, and you can just cross check it with the god curse.  And giving them a distinctive nickname makes it even easier.

Toady just fixed some of the vampire bugs that made them more obvious, most important for Fortress Mode is #5055, where vampires wear insane amounts of trophies from their kills.

Prepare for more paranoia when the most obvious indicator is now gone...
