Have you tried to use Optimize-Volume against VMStorage virtual disk? I also was not able to find description for all possible HealthStatus values in general and for Suboptimal in particular. If no parameters specified Optimize-Volume will perform default action based on disk type:

HDD, Fixed VHD, Storage Space -Analyze -Defrag.
Tiered Storage Space -TierOptimize.
SSD with TRIM support -Retrim.
Storage Space (Thinly provisioned), SAN Virtual Disk (Thinly provisioned), Dynamic VHD, Differencing VHD -Analyze -SlabConsolidate -Retrim.
SSD without TRIM support, Removable FAT, Unknown - No operation.

You may also want to look at this TechNet Forums thread which mentions the same status.

I have not managed to find an exact description of the operational status section also. But I would recommend to check your physical drives participating in that logical disk since it seems like an individual drive failure. I just made some analogies about logical disks on a hardware RAID which actually guided me to this.

The following PowerShell command helped me:

Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "s2d*" | Optimize-StoragePool
