I get the same problem trying to use Amavis configured for Courier or 
Exim or a variety of others. The first working solution I came upon was 
to configure Amavis to work with "Maildrop". Then, I told Courier to use 
Maildrop to deliver local mail. As the last step, I made a 
/etc/courier/maildroprc file that looks like this:

   import SENDER
   xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -s 20480"
   xfilter "/usr/bin/amavis"
