I would suggest that you DisableDefaultScanOptions in clamd.conf and tune values according to your system. My servers do slightly more than 800 smtp transfers per hour and I found out that working with the DisableDefaultScanOptions commented out brought my server to its knees. And my server is almost like yours, except it's Pentium III Xeon 500MHz.
At any given moment, my SMTP service has average 300 child processes so I used that value for MaxConnectionQueueLength. I am not sure that is quite what it should be, but works for me is the key thing ;)
Those numbers seem unusual to me. I am handling over 2800 emails per hour. I don't recall ever seeing more than about 50 sendmail child processes active (except after an extended down period but even then it doesn't seem to get much above 150).
CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (701.59-MHz 686-class CPU)
Single processor, FreeBSD 4.6, clamav 0.80. CPU utilization sits between 80 and 95% idle.
