It is true that amavis-new does over-ride or otherwise seemingly  
discard some but not all of the individual user configuration options  
from SpamAssassin, but have you considered trying the following?

a) Postfix milter to run ClamAv, eh something like this (for Linux fans)

		http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Postfix_with_clamav-milter

It is a bit dated, so double check the docs over at the Postfix site  
to take advantage of updates to the milter abilities in Postfix.


b) then use the regular Postfix <--> SpamAssassin <--> LDA (with  
sieve) setup (message routing via Postfix master.cf) so that  
individual users can set their own SA rules and vacation stuff.
