Clamd works great for lots of people, but some have reported memory leaks on latest stable (0.75.1), which could cause your system to be "out of memory".
A few people (out of the thousands who run ClamAV) have reported "memory
leaks" in stable versions of clamd.
However, none of those people have submitted a report from a memory debugging tool to show where the leak occurs on their systems, despite being asked to by the development team. None of the development team have seen such a leak.
Until one of the people complaining produces a useful report, nothing can be done. It is just as likely a leak in a system library than in clamd.

Would you consider the following a sign of a memory leak?
ID name user cpu threads real mem virtual mem

Other than using memory it doesn't appear to be leaking, this is after 91 hours of uptime and the values have barely changed and if it should every crash, a full memory report will be forwarded for examination cause the report is automatically generated by crashreporter.
I suspect if you are experiencing a memory leak it is probably System Library related since I can watch an app to see what grows and this one seems fairly stable in that respect.
