That bug (fixed in 2.6.1) was specific to runnning a virus scanner in a forked perl subprocess (like Mail::ClamAV). Most other virus scanners, including clamd, were not affected by the bug. So what you are seeing must be something else. Check timing in the log (TIMING report at log level 2, or just examine syslog timestamps around a call to clamd) - I guess the diagnostic was genuine, i.e. that clamd really took long time to respond.
