We had a similar problem, found that the temporary files from
scanning
partial mime messages were not being cleaned up. And were taking
up
large amounts of disk space
I wrote a one liner put in cron.daily to clean these files if
older than
1 day just to be safe.
Was surprised to see that deleting them also freed up memory
used by
clamd, so maybe they weren't deleted in first place because
clamd is
still holding onto them.
Hope this helps:
#!/bin/bash
find /var/spool/qmailscan/clamav-partial/* -mtime +1 -exec rm {}
';'

Eric Kruse
