In /usr/sbin/MailScanner there are a couple of calls to "Explode". 
Immediately after them, add a line saying
    exit;
and it will stop straight after the attachment unpacking.
Then you can go into /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming, find the relevant 
directory and see what attachments it pulled out.
Then try clamscan-ing them by hand. If the attachments look okay in that 
directory, then it's a clamd issue I think. I would be interested to see 
what clamscan makes of them when run by hand.
