Same for me...

I remembered now that I did try clamavmodule.
The load now is seen in the MailScanner but I guess it is
the perl module that is being loaded.

what it does and takes so long is:

Loading the database
copying the database to /tmp/
loading the database from /tmp

It does this for every mail it comes in.

How does clamavmodule handle the db?

Clamd only loads the db once.
