No, amavisd-new does not like spamassassin settings it its config file.
You don't put any SA options in amavisd.conf, you put amavisd-new
options in amavisd.conf. Look for amavisd-new options that begin with
$sa_. See http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-spam

To properly test, run spamassassin as your amavis user (if possible).
For example:
su amavis -c 'spamassassin --lint -D'
(or run 'amavisd debug-sa' and send some real mail through)

For DCC, I configure DCC to run as the amavis user before I compile:
../configure --with-uid=vscan && make && make install
give it a try.

Pyzor needs to be world readable and executable.
chmod -R a+rX /usr/share/doc/pyzor /usr/bin/pyzor /usr/bin/pyzord
chmod -R a+rX /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyzor

Exactly what error does Pyzor give?
Personal opinion: If you don't get Pyzor to work, you are not
missing much. It seems not enough people submit spam to Pyzor
to make it of much use anymore.

I see no need to use any of the settings you have above in local.cf.
DCC, Razor2 and Pyzor are enabled by default. Try removing them from
local.cf if you have them there.
