When you restart amavisd, check /var/log/maillog and see whether it then finds the clamd socket as the primary virus scanner, rather than just clamscan.

Double-check which users amavisd and clamd are running as-- the default ports config seems to have clamd running as the "clamav" user, and amavisd+SpamAssassin as "vscan". Enabling in clamd.conf "AllowSupplimentaryGroups" option and adding the "clamav" userid to the vscan group in /etc/groups lets them talk.
