Thanks Guys,
I'm definitely running 3.0.1 and have removed the custom rulesets that are included in SpamAssassin3. The problem isn't with the rulesets though as I was running SpamD2.64 prior with the same rulesets and had no issues.
I have written a script which simply monitors the spamd processes and if one increases above 200mb virtual it gets killed, if that fails I'll look to implementing your suggestion Justin.
I do have one further question however. I eventually figured out why I was having so many issues, the boxes didn't have fast DNS servers setup on them, and even though i have specified
dns_available no
in the local.cf file, it still was taking about 30 seconds to respond to a query. I setup an internal DNS server in the network config for the server, and all of a sudden it processes the same messages in 0.0 or 0.1 seconds.
Does the dns_available tag still function in version 3.0.1 of spamd?
Thanks guys, - Will

Some of these can require a lot of memory, they have not been through the SpamAssassin development process. Also, antidrug is included in SpamAssassin 3.0.0 already. Maybe you're running 2.64?
Set --max-conn-per-child to a lower number of messages. That gets the huge processes out of the way quicker.
Don't run spamc on really big messages, stick with the 250k default, maybe go even lower.
Make sure you really need 15 children -- is that optimal for your load. Seems like a lot for a dual, especially if you're not using any network tests.
