This is a known bug with ClamAV. I reported it a couple of weeks ago (search archive for "Long-standing bug in clamav"). There appears to be a memory leak somewhere in clamd. I have tried upping and upping the softlimit for clamd - eventually something comes through that pushes the required memory over the limit and after that it hangs forever... (a good reason to use softlimit I must say! If I didn't have that in place, clamd would have eventually swallowed all the RAM on the system...)
