Hello.
Well first I valgrinded clamd to see if any memory leak was detected. To my 
knowledge it seems not.
Then I googled on this behaviour and found lots of people complaining of ram 
footprint of clamd. In fact this behaviour seems linked to the necessity of 
loading all virus database in ram for performance purpose.

So there are  no workaround except what you suggest.

I'll try to see if MemoryLimit is an accepted parameter for clamd.
