Are you running qmail with daemontools ? It is possible that your softlimit for is set too low. The memory requirements for clamav recently went up due to adding a large number of virus definitions.
When I had this problem, the following information was present in the qmail-scanner debug log file
02/02/2004 01:15:49:24606: --output of clamscan was:
02/02/2004 01:15:49:24606: clamscan: finished scan of dir
"/var/spool/qmailscan/
I had this exact same problem last week, and I had problems getting changes to the softlimit to change anything.
I ended up running clamd and using clamdscan from qmail-scanner-queue, which means the scanner process uses very little memory. This has worked well and I haven't had any issues since.
