So for every single qmail queue run you are calling a perl script which
then calls clamav? No wonder your server is slowing down.

Try a daemon based scanner like amavisd-new - http://www.imladris.sk/howto/

But still, with qmail's habit of accepting mail for unknown users and
generating bounces later as smtpd doesn't have a view of the userdb, and
the fact that this config I described is a "sandwich" config, where the
mail is accepted, passed to an amavisd-new daemon and then passed back
to another qmail daemon ... I wouldn't want to pay your bandwidth bills
till this mydoom virus dies out :)

Yeah, exim with exiscan-acl calling clamd (dont call clamscan
commandline with it) scanning mail at smtp time should help you.
