Very glad (if you know what I mean) that I'm not the only one who has clamd
falling over after a few weeks.

What do you do re. /usr/lib/MailScanner/esets-autoupdate because this
clearly isn't working.  It reports that ESET was updated each time it
runs.  I have hacked the script without success and I wonder if a return
code of 0 is being returned each time:
    if ($result==0) {
      Sys::Syslog::syslog('info', "esets updated");

Either that or it is downloading even if it isn't needed.  If I update
using a script:
/opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_update
echo $?

I get:
Update is not necessary - the installed virus signature database is current.
Installed virus signature database version 10465 (20140925)
0
