It depends on your setup. If you're using a pre-queueing content filter you won't be able to receive mail until amavis is up and running again. If you're using amavis as a post-queing content filter, you won't lose any mail. It will all remain in the queue until amavis is running again, or the queue lifetime runs out (in which case a bounce is sent back to the sender). The usual postfix queue lifetime is 5 days, so you're on the safe side there. If you've set up amavis according to the amavis postfix README, you'll have a post-queueing content filter, which I'd recommend to use anyway.
