Finally I have some insight: this happens when ClamAV receives a new 
virus definitions database and so reloads.

Notice I'm using 0.103, which "reloads the signature database without 
blocking scanning" (and no I didn't disable this).
So probably, while it works in theory, this slows the system and hence 
the timeouts.

I'm now trying with increased timeouts or with disabling ICAP failure 
limits.

Thanks to all who helped.
