I recently ran into the same problem, and from looking at my logs, I figured out that amavisd-new was timing out on one particular mail, and leaving the unpacked files behind. The problem turned out to be that /usr/bin/file took 8 minutes to identify one component, and the time-out in amavisd-new is 5 mintues. Setting this to 10 minutes allowed things to proceed normally. But 8 minutes to identify a file type is not right, so I copied the offending component to a few other machines and compared. On one of these machines (same version of file, but different distro) I found that it worked instantly. Looking the output of ldd against each file, I found that there there was one library that file on my server was not linked against (can't remember which, maybe libmagic?). I downloaded the source, compiled it and installed it into /opt. Tested it, it worked instantly. Updated my amavisd-new config with the new file utility, and all is well now. Hope that helps.
