Yes, I can confirm that you will.

There might have been a time when you could have, although it was not allowed. Etihad used to habitually record all flights on their metal via their own prime flightcode, even when the flight had actually been booked as a codeshare (this has been my experience with AB-, VA- and A3-coded flights).

However, I've seen stuff on here lately that seems to imply that they no longer do this, but treat the flight in the manner that it was booked - i.e. recognising codeshares as such.

There is no way that either AB or VA would give miles for a flight with A3 flightcodes.
