I take it you're referring to clamav-milter --max-children?
I run without this parameter (unlimited children,) and I haven't had a problem. 
 Currently seven active clamav-milter processes.  2GB memory, ~9000 
messages/day.


I am indeed referring to clamav-milter --max-children. For some reason I have to pass a value to this parameter , without it I'm getting a startup error : --max-children needs to defined, so I've put it to 5.

The server we're using has 1GB memory installed.
