This question is closely related this this one. However, in this case, clamav is going crazy and filling up boot.log, writing to it every second (and getting huge). Furthermore, postfix is totally dead. Postfix doesn't even write to mail.log or mail.err. Restarting both by:
sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart
sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam restart
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart
Doesn't seem to have any effect. Here is the output:
ubuntu@linode:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon: line 354: kill: (-4308) - No such process
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon: line 365: kill: (-4308) - No such process

This is on ubuntu. This is client's server. This started a few days ago (2016/10/23?) They are not very technical and I don't think they made any specific changes.
I have been testing mail by:
echo "My message" | mail -s testing me@gmail.com
As mentioned, both var/log/mail.log and mail.err are both at 0 bytes
Just about at wit's end. How can I resolve this?
Edit: Also tried to update by:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libclamav-dev
No effect
