Where does the file utility reside? Is it in one of directories listed
in your $path variable in amavisd.conf? A usual setting is:
  $path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin';

Is the file(1) program executable? Are you running amavisd chrooted
(in which case the file(1) and its database must be available in the jail).
