On Debian you can remove temporary amavis-* directories simply by
restarting amavis with '/etc/init.d/amavis restart'. The init script
has code to remove temp directories (this is performed after
amavisd-new is stopped):
cleanup() {
[ -d /var/lib/amavis ] &&
find /var/lib/amavis -maxdepth 1 -name 'amavis-*' -type d \
-exec rm -rf "{}" \; >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
[ -d /var/lib/amavis/tmp ] &&
find /var/lib/amavis/tmp -maxdepth 1 -name 'amavis-*' -type d \
-exec rm -rf "{}" \; >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
:
}
You should only have one amavis-* temp directory for each running amavisd-new
process. If there are many more than this, you likely have some sort of problem.

As MrC shows, you can use the find command to delete files older than
a given number of days. The command I use is similar:
find /var/lib/amavis/virusmails -name 'virus-*' -mtime +29 -type f -exec rm -f
{} \;
