Have you tried to run clamscan lately? When I was setting up my
latest amavisd system I had socket permission problems for the clamd
socket, and my test messages were taking *minutes* to scan. I assumed
this was because clamscan was taking so long to parse the signature
dictionary at each invocation.
I'm not sure that clamscan is a reasonable fallback strategy any
more, at least for mail volumes beyond a home server.
To answer the original OP, if it's *really* OK in your scenario to
pass through mails without scanning when the main AV is down, you could
easily set up a dummy secondary scanner which just returns "OK" without
checking the file.
