I first tried removing all of clamav and amavisd and reinstalling again from EPEL.  That turned out to be worse as I could never get the permissions right for the /var/share/amavis/tmp directory.

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.

Thanks for the bug report.
