What is that adjustment supposed to do/achieve?

to try to alleviate the problem described. absent a known cause, one experiments, does one not?

If your server is a busy one, you may try increasing the MaxThreads
value in clamd.conf. It's worked for me.

as i mentioned, clamd 0.85.1 has been working fine for me as well, up until a few days ago when this issue arose. here's my clamd.conf:

LogFile /var/log/clamd.log
LogFileMaxSize 15M
LogTime
LogSyslog
LogFacility LOG_LOCAL6
PidFile /var/run/clamd/clamd.pid
LocalSocket /tmp/clamd
FixStaleSocket
MaxConnectionQueueLength 60
StreamMaxLength 100M
MaxThreads 10
ReadTimeout 300
IdleTimeout 120
MaxDirectoryRecursion 20
SelfCheck 600
User qscand

Also, think about the size of messages you send to clamd. In my case,
I only send stuff that is less than 2MB in size. If they make a virus
larger than that, my users will get it hands down ;-)

and what of a virus zipped into a larger zip file? Since the largest message we'll accept is 100M, then that's what my StreamMaxLength is set at, per the comments in clamd.conf. on the other hand, it would take an awfully determined virus distributed to put their virus in such a large message.....
