Are you running clamav as a daemon? How are things getting passed to
clamscan? Is this part of mailserver setup? What are you running as the
mail server? If it is part of the mailserver - where is it putting the
files before scanning them?

As far as I can tell from that bug report, that's only saying that it
will use 100% CPU at startup.
