I agree, clamd is a stability-nightmare. On my system I use "monit" to
detect failures and restart clamd as needed. However, I have a much
lower volume, so clamd crashes only once a day. On your system that
probably wouldn't be a solution. My distribution is Debian-testing, the
problems occur both with the debian-testing-clamd-0.60-packages and with
the debian-package taken directly from the clamd-homepage (0.65).
I'm a littel bit surprised no one else here mentions such problems? Or
do they have solutions I'm not aware of?
