One of my client wanted me to upgrade openssl and Apache on his server because he want to receive an A from SSLLabs. I went ahead and upgraded to Apache 2.4.18 and openssl to version 1.0.2e. I then modified Apache's SSL configuration to match the following:
# SSL Protocols/Ciphers
SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder On
SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256::kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!3DES:!MD5:!PSK
SSLCompression off
I ran an SSL Test from SSL Labs and I still receive the following warning:
This server is vulnerable to the POODLE attack. If possible, disable SSL 3 to mitigate. Grade capped to C.
In the protocols list, it says YES to SSL 3 even if the above statement says it should be disabled.
I've tried many ciphers combinisations by searching on the web and I always gets the same result. I've also searched in any *.conf file for an SSL configuration but there's none except my SSL file above.

ssllabs could be caching the result. I recall using a link or button on the ssllabs results page to clear the cache and recheck the web server.
