i know this an old post, but i came across it when i had this same issue as the one described.
as it turned out, the problem for was was not amavis but clam.
i had just done a software update via yum (centos 6) and reinstalled a new security certificate.
all emails then started to have ***unchecked*** prepended.
the solution here was not considered because it seemed it was not solving my problem, just hiding it.
finally tracked down this solution which turned out to be my own solution from earlier this year (how quickly we forget)!!...

this time though i did not use an old file but simply deleted the problem file and created a new one which i then
chowned.
clamd restarted and emails now are cleaned
it is possible that this is an ongoing issue, possibly because of the version of iredmail (0.8.6) i am running.
i will update this post if i come across any problems when i bring it up to date over the next couple of weeks.
there does appear to be differences in ownership of the log file in question, between different versions of irm
!!!oops!!!
i forgot to mention that you should also check your freshclam situation as there could be similar issues with ownership of the freshclam.log
try restarting freshclam. if there is a similar problem with permissions you will need to check the ownership of the current log file (it should be clamav:clamav in centos 6)
this needs to match the owner of the database as defined in the freshclam.conf file (for centos os it is at /etc/freshclam.conf)
the database owner line should read...
you could possibly comment it out as well as clamav is default.
obviously restart freshclam after resaving the file
