I upgraded to clamav-0.80rc3 and still had the same problem, so I went back to clamav-0.75.1 which handled the bz2 file OK on i386 machine. That's when mimdefang stopped working.
I've gone through a myriad of software combinations and just cannot get mimedefang to work again. I can't even get the original problem to occur again. sendmail/mimedefang just stops on receiving an email as below.

Bill,
I've been installing a new machine with MD 2.45, SA 3.0 and clamav 0.75.1 and it was working fine until I added some greylisting code. then it did the same thing.
it turns out that for some reason it was choking on my "use strict;" line. more specifically it was complaining (during debugging) about calls to non-existant subroutines "main::sub_routine_name" which actually did exist.
I must have beat my head against the wall for 2 hours debugging this.
I reverted to a previous version of the filter and it started working again as expected, so i stepped thru changes, etc and finally once I removed the use strict; line with all my code changes, everything started to work. (i still need to figure out why that was happening)
anyways, the point (i think) is... check the little things and make sure you don't have something really little and really obvious taunting you and causing you problems.
in my case, it was get as far as you show in your log and then the slave would timeout and die and tempfail.
anyways, probably not much help, but thought i'd share.
