Which are?
Mailscanner works fine with postfix in my experience.
There are arguments against using it, in that (among other things) it
requires you to accept mail before scanning it (Mailscanner picks up
messages from the HOLD queue for scanning). That aside it functions just
fine.

I only moved away from it because it seemed fairly memory-hungry to me.

You can integrate Spamassassin and Clamav with amavisd as well.
