Clamav is a great program, but it is quite unstable under heavy load.
Every now and then, the threads appear to deadlock and the whole thing
hangs. Unfortunately, the clamav driver in exiscan does not feature
a timeout, so a hanging clamd will block Exim.

I hope both clamav and exiscan to be fixed in that regard soon, but
as it is, I can not recommend it for production use.
