The default wrapper script for Clam with MailScanner can't use external unpackers due to permissions issues (where MailScanner runs as root).  I've attached a copy of the wrapper I use - I did send it to Julian a while back but I don't think it made it into the distribution.

You also need to set the following in MailScanner.conf
Incoming Work User =
Incoming Work Group = clamav
Incoming Work Permissions = 0640
