Those milter errors have been in every version of ClamAV I've ever used,
since early September last year. I found that setting a higher
max-children threshold helped the situation for me - milter processes
still hang all the time, but eventually they do die, and as long as one
doesn't actually hit max-children, the system as a whole keeps on
working. It would be really nice to actually have the bug fixed properly
though, rather than resorting to work-rounds like that.

Mike.
