I would recommend the exiscan-acl patch for Exim, which lets you run
content checks at smtp time. It has support for both clamav and
spamassassin.

Exim can look up almost any config value from a database, such as MySQL
or an LDAP server. This is very powerful and flexible, and lets you set
up virtual domain hosting the way *you* want it. When it comes to GUIs I
don't know, but since you can store almost anything in a database, it
shouldn't be too difficult to write a simple web frontend yourself.
You can have a look at vmail-sql, which really is just a basic exim
config with some perl scripts for administration. I would recommend you
just look at its README file for hints on how to set up virtual hosting
using MySQL, and then do your own thing based on it.

SquirrelMail is also nice, I've always thought IMP was a bit heavy.

I use Courier IMAP myself. I don't really like how it is configured or
works, but I guess that's just a matter of taste. When it comes to
performance and reliability it seems to work very well. It also supports
at least MySQL lookups.
tpop3d is a really nice pop3 server, with support for
MySQL/PostgreSQL/LDAP account lookups, TLS/SSL, maildirs and much more.
