I don't think it is the CHROOT jail.  Look at the following memory numbers
IPTables+DHCP+Postfix
Memory:		Total	Used	Free	Shared	Buffers	Cached
Mem:			61112	57556	3556	0		1080		46672

+ClamAV
Memory:		Total	Used	Free	Shared	Buffers	Cached
Mem:			61112	59048	2064	0		788		43084

+ClamAV+SAGATOR
Memory:		Total	Used	Free	Shared	Buffers	Cached
Mem:			61112	57016	4096	0		644		43008
Note: Kernel's Out of Memory process kill had already started killing
processes by this point.  In fact, when I went to shutdown SAGATOR I got an
error that it was not running and a check of the system logs showed that the
out of memory process killer had killed it!  So this is basically after the
CHROOT jail.

So it doesn't appear to be the chroot jail.
