clamscan is dying because you aren't allocating enough memory using
the softlimit function.  Take a look at the qmail-scanner FAQ.  The
reason clamdscan is working it because it takes less memory to run
then clamscan.

I don't have many problems with clamd dying... but you could setup
daemontools to monitor it and restart if it dies.
