Russ, Look at your config file. You don't need to scan all more than probably 200KB of a file. If you're using google; don't. It will help for email but probably will not help finding badness on a file server. Likewise with unofficials. Not all unofficials are appropriate for your application.
Lastly when you complied you clamd what compiler options did you pick?
