I'm testing it with simple text mails and no attachments (i.e. mail

It seems that clamd dies when scanning mails since I got this
output after the first scan:

Please disable ScanMail and try again.

ok. now it works as it used to. but what is exactly this scanmail
feature? Isn't it necessary to actually scan text emails (as the name
itself says)?
I couldn't find information about it in the docs.

Well, it's in the AMaViS docs. Amavis is taking care of extracting attachments from mails, as well as decompress them. So everything clamav gets is already uncompressed. That's why you don't need that ScanMail feature.
The Unzip- and ScanMail features are only needed if your mail scanner doesn't support attachment extraction, or if you choose to regulary scan your hard disk with clam.
