Be careful how you interpret these figures - Linux will use any spare
RAM as file cache, so the amount of "free" memory is misleading. If
apps need more RAM then the file caches are given up.

I'm running Exim 4.52 with SA 3.1 and Clamav 0.87 on a machine with
only 256MB RAM quite happily, albeit with some careful limitations on
the number of SA child processes.
