My directions said nothing of dpgk, my instructions were:

apt-get --purge remove clamav clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam libclamav1
apt-get -t sarge install clamav clamav-daemon
gpasswd -a clamav amavis
amavisd-new stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start
amavisd-new start

So, stop and start, then check for errors.
amavisd-new stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start
amavisd-new start

This directory is real. /var/lib/amavis is your amavisd home. I'm sure
you have it, or amavisd-new would crash upon startup.

As I said before, to get more detail, raise $log_level in amavisd.conf
