Hi,
Many thanks Theo Van Dinter, Gary V and others who helped. As suggested
by Theo Van Dinter, I change the home directory of clamav user as
/var/amavisd and then executed "/usr/local/bin/sa-learn -D --sync" it
took around 6 hours but now "bayes_journal" has been reduced from 3.5 GB
42 KB. How I can prevent this problem from reoccuring?

A clue was given to you in a previous post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassassin-users&m=114269315700923&w=2

But I am not getting the full picture. You said earlier that the bayes files were in /var/amavis/.spamassassin yet you say you changed the home directory of 'clamav' to /var/amavisd. Are your bayes files in /var/amavis/.spamassassin or /var/amavisd/.spamassassin? What user is running amavisd-new? Please do this for me as I asked before:

What do you have $daemon_user and $daemon_group set to in amavisd.conf?
What does this say?:
cat /etc/passwd | grep amavis

When you ran "/usr/local/bin/sa-learn -D --sync", what user were you running this as?

Another hint, you also need to run 'sa-learn --sync --force-expire' as your amavisd-new user. If it takes some time to complete then it is probably working.
