you have to configure SA. in local.cf (or elsewhere):
use_bayes                       1

you can also enable auto-learn:
bayes_auto_learn                1

since you'll use a site-wide database, you can tell SA to use a single db.
bayes_sql_override_username     vscan
(or whatever user amavisd runs as).

Using mysql is recommended for performances:
bayes_store_module      Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL
bayes_sql_dsn           DBI:mysql:spamassassin:127.0.0.1:3306
bayes_sql_username      spamassassin
bayes_sql_password      xxxxxx

to create the db, use the scripts from SA distribution.

if you have a lot of mail there, it is better to use --nosync. then run 
sa-learn --sync afterward.

if you use the override_username above, you don't need to 'su vscan'.

you can run spamassassin -D -t on a message and see what it says.
be aware that bayes only starts doing its jobs if you have trained 200 
hams and 200 spams.
