I suppose you are using Kolab1.
I remember this is a perhaps a permission related issue (your log is a 
little "light" ...)
Amavis and ClamAV aren't in the same group by default.

Two solutions :
- Run ClamAV and Amavis by using the same user.
- Add clamav user to the amavis group in /etc/group.

For example : amavis:x:107:clamav

Hope this helps
