If you expect clamav + amavisd + postfix to essentially work out of the
box in gentoo, you should file a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org/ (and CC
me, for my benefit ;-)). Personally, I use clamav-milter to scan emails,
so all my advice for your use of amavisd is primarily guessing based on
the information you have posted.

Could you check if /var/amavis/clamd.sock exists after clamd has been
started? Please also give the permissions of the file. You can get this
information by running:
stat /var/amavis/clamd.sock
Of course, you should tell amavisd to look for the clamd socket in
/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock instead. If you still have trouble after
updating amavisd's configuration, please also give the output of:
stat /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock
Also, why is /usr/bin/clamscan being run when a connection is being made
to clamd? wouldn't it be better to run clamdscan?

This is because amavisd was unable to connect to the clamd. So clamd
should have heard nothing, AFAICT
postfix version 2.5.7
amavisd-new version 2.6.1-r1
Please note that non-Gentooers do not understand what ``-r1'' means ;-).
mail ~ # clamconf -n
Checking configuration files in /etc
Config file: clamd.conf
-----------------------
LogFile = "/var/log/clamav/clamd.log"
LogTime = "yes"
LogClean = "yes"
LogVerbose = "yes"
PidFile = "/var/run/clamav/clamd.pid"
LocalSocket = "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock"
Try setting this option to the file that amavis is looking for:
/var/amavis/clamd.sock. Or tell amavis to look in
/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock instead of /var/amavis/clamd.sock . The
latter option is probably preferable because applications other than
amavisd are able to make use of clamd.
