Understood, which is why I'm looking to move to clamdscan.
But I'd like to understand why, on Sunday morning, the scan time which
had been under a minute per mail, for over 4 months, suddenly jumped to
25 minutes per mail and has remained at that.
Cheers.

Clamscan can spend a looooong time loading signatures, etc. If you
run your command with strace (or monitor the process with lsof, etc.)
you'll probably see clamscan is busy accessing signature files.

A POP3 proxy program I have running on a Debian 10.8 system, uses
clamscan to check incoming e-mails. At some point in the very early
morning (US West Coast time) it suddenly started taking a very
long time
to scan each mail, So much that the controlling process would
time out
before clamscan finished. Up to this point it was running fine.
Running a test from the command line, on a very simple 1-line mail
took
around 25 minutes:
root@CleanMail:~# date ; clamscan test.msg -v --no-summary ; date
Mon 05 Apr 2021 11:59:10 AM PDT
Scanning /root/test.msg
/root/test.msg: OK
Mon 05 Apr 2021 12:24:06 PM PDT
root@CleanMail:~#
Looking through the logs, I can't see anything happening in the
period
between the last good scan and the sloooooow ones.
Where should I be going next to track this down.
Cheers.
