We run ClamAV here on Solaris with Sendmail and a milter (our own, not the one bundled with ClamAV) with no problems at all. 1000s of messages a day, no apparent memory or fd leaks in clamd and it has only ever died once (SEGV with 0.66). We run several virus scanners in sequence and it is rare that a virus gets past ClamAV to be detected by secondary or tertiary scanner, and then the Clam virus database team right on the ball with adding a new signature!
