This will work but will match string contains “junk” or “spam”; if you
just want to match strings that start with %junk or %spam or %system
use:

  "^%\\(system\\|junk\\|spam\\)"

wl-dispose-folder-alist is tested in order, so:

(setq wl-dispose-folder-alist
  '(("^%\\(system\\|junk\\|spam\\)" . remove)
    ("^%" . "%junk")))

should do the trick.
