In case anyone is still following my story...

I've narrowed things down a bit.  The clamd daemon seems to be running
properly, as evidenced by a proper run of clamdscan.  Takes almost no
time at all to scan one file, and 12 minutes in total to scan approx
30Gb of directories/files.

Therefore, I must conclude that there is some communication problem
between clamav-milter and clamd (or clamav-milter and sendmail) that is
interfering with the ability of the milter to do its job.  As I
mentioned above, there are two symptoms - a significant slowdown in mail
exchange, and the failure for any virii to be flagged or a header line
to be written in acceptable messages.  Does anyone have any suggestions
for what might account for this?
