Did you know that the default for $spam_quarantine_to is 'spam-quarantine'?
So if you don't set this, you are actually using the default,
which will quarantine your spam to your $QUARANTINEDIR. At least
amavisd-new will try to quarantine there. It may fail if the
$QUARANTINEDIR does not exist, or the amavisd-new user does not have
permission to write to that directory. Look at your $QUARANTINEDIR
setting, then look in that directory and let me know if you find
many thousands of files there, or let me know if your $QUARANTINEDIR
directory exists. If the amavisd-new user is unable to quarantine, you
may have messages in your log like "FAILED: temporarily unable to
quarantine". I think if amavisd-new was actually quarantining spam to
your box, your machine would have crashed by now, so my guess would be
you never created $QUARANTINEDIR (default is /var/virusmails).

If you really don't want to quarantine, if you want to discard
anything over 6.31 (for everyone except example.com), then this is the
setting you are looking for:

@spam_quarantine_to_maps = (
 { '.example.com' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', # spam for this domain goes here
   '.' => undef, # everyone else's spam is dumped (discarded)
 }
);

"- changed defaults for variables $virus_quarantine_to, $banned_quarantine_to,
  $bad_header_quarantine_to and $spam_quarantine_to from undef (no quarantine)
  to values 'virus-quarantine', 'banned-quarantine', 'bad-header-quarantine'
  and 'spam-quarantine' respectively.  Set them to undef or '' (empty string)
  to disable quarantine;"
