So I removed it all again and reinstalled from RPMforge. Now it all works as expected. I never should have switch from RPMforge to EPEL for these programs.
actually, IMHO, you should have switched. EPEL is much better maintained than RPMforge these days. the catch is, to do that switch cleanly, you woudl have had to completely uninstall the rpmforge version, disable rpmforge, THEN install the epel version
I did that, and still clam failed to filter mail. I do admin that I didn't delete "all" related files before installing from EPEL, ANsd I do also feel that EPEL is the better choice, so I guess I'll do it all over again.

Way up in this thread, you mentioned updating amavisd-new from epel plus clam* from epel. In addition to the user clamav vs clam issue, epel amavisd uses service clamd.amavisd, whereas the rpmforge amavisd uses service clamd.
# rpm -q amavisd-new clamd postgrey amavisd-new-2.8.0-8.el6.noarch clamd-0.98.3-1.el6.i686 postgrey-1.34-1.el6.noarch
# service clamd status clamd is stopped
# service clamd.amavisd status clamd.amavisd (pid 2860) is running...
The use of clamd.amavisd actually simplifies the setup since you don't need to add group amavis to clam.
# id clam uid=493(clam) gid=493(clam) groups=493(clam)
Looking through my rpmforge > epel conversion notes, the other significant issue was to find folders/files with owner:group clamav:clamav and chown to clam:clam. I think you already corrected that problem.
There are also several differences in the default rpmforge vs epel amavisd.conf, but I don't think any would stop it from working.
I converted 3 mail servers to epel amavisd/clam* about a year ago and I think all conversion issues have been resolved, but you never know. :-)

Hmm. Since EPEL provided and installed clamd and amavisd-new packages without error, I assumed they were the correct packages. I'll leave my system to use RPMforge, at least until the next time I update those packages.
Thanks for all the input.
