I first tried removing all of clamav and amavisd and reinstalling again from EPEL. That turned out to be worse as I could never get the permissions right for the /var/share/amavis/tmp directory.
So I removed it all again and reinstalled from RPMforge. Now it all works as expected. I never should have switch from RPMforge to EPEL for these programs.
Thanks for the bug report.
