"transport filter timeout"... there's your clue.

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/ch24.html

transport_filter_timeout Use: transports Type: time Default: 5m

"When Exim is reading the output of a transport filter, it a applies a timeout that can be set by this option. Exceeding the timeout is normally treated as a temporary delivery failure. However, if a transport filter is used with a pipe transport, a timeout in the transport filter is treated in the same way as a timeout in the pipe command itself. By default, a timeout is a hard error, but if the pipe transport’s timeout_defer option is set true, it becomes a temporary error."

However, if your spam checks take longer than 5 minutes to complete then you've got some serious problems outside of Exim, IMO.
