Without digging straight into your system, it'd be hard to say for sure.

What you have to realize is that you have a number of programs stirring 
the pot there.

Here's a site to help a bit - 
http://qmail.jms1.net/clamav/qmail-scanner.shtml

You have your antivirus scanner, you have spamassassin, and you can have 
other stuff as well as the actual Qmail install itself.

The files have to be accessible by those various users, so you can 
actually do the work.

I'd guess that the problem MAY be more on the output end than the 
scanning part - meaning that somewhere, when the system is supposed to 
'clean up', it's dropping the ball.  

Doublecheck the documentation.  If nothing else, you might be able to 
set qmail-scanner into 'verbose' mode, and feed a test message through 
so that you can track the exact process.  (The contrib has a testing script)

Again, I'm not familiar enough with all the code to tell you without 
actually rooting around in your system - take this stuff with a grain of 
salt, and do what Jason Haar recommends with the -z option run as  a 
cron job every night.
