My auto.master entry for this is:
/clamscan/master/ /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map -t 0 --ghost
Originally I had tried : /clamscan/master/
/clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map -t 0 -g
that is supposed to be valid. Either way the status from autofs returns
expected information
I can try specifying --timeout=0 and see what happens.
/etc/init.d/autofs status
Checking for service autofs:
running
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /clamscan/master/ file /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map
t 0 ghost
Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /clamscan/master/ file /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map
t 0 ghost
So I am a little puzzled as to why the behavior is the way it is.

Re:
Automount/autofs and the --ghost option
Please respond to

I set this up based on your config files (RHEL instead of SLES), and it
works as expected. The only difference I see is with the arguments
passed to the automount daemon itself (from 'ps aux' output).
Mine:
# ps aux | grep automount
[snip] /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=0 --ghost /mnt/test
file /etc/clam-av.map
Yours:
/usr/sbin/automount /clamscan/master/
file /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map t 0 ghost
Perhaps the 't 0 ghost' is the problem. Try starting automount by hand
with '--timeout=0 --ghost' or '-t 0 -g'. The '-d' debug option is also
really useful.. usually points right to the problem (but you have to
configure syslog to capture debug messages first).
