I looks like your avmilter never gets used. Please have a look at your
/etc/make.conf. This might include a line stating what sendmail mc file
to use for generating your individual sendmail.cf:

SENDMAIL_MC=/etc/mail/theatre.sax.de.mc

Than, the corresponding line in /etc/mail/theatre.sax.de.mc is:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`avmilter',`S=inet:3333@localhost,F=R,T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m')

This is exactly from the antivir-milter documentation, and the only thing I
did afterwards was 
	make
	make install
	make restart
Since than, it's just working. Of course, I've set up a start script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d that enables avmilter at system startup. Do you
probably have some older version? Mine is using sockets, not a pipe.

Does your avmilter listen on some port? (Mine is using default, 3333.)

Regards,
	Martin
