That was effectively what the problem was, thanks. For the archives,
the following are the working instructions for configuring Avira
SAVAPI with fedora25 and amavisd-new-2.11.0

amavisd.conf:
  ['Avira-SAVAPI',
    \&ask_daemon, ["*", 'savapi:/var/run/amavisd/savapi3', '11536'],
    qr/^(200|210) /m,  qr/^(310|420|319)/m,
    qr/^(?:310|420)[,\s]*(?:.* <<< )?(.+?)(?: ; |$)/m ],


# egrep -v '^$|^#' /usr/local/savapi-sdk-linux_glibc24_x86_64/bin/savapi.conf

Thanks for everyone's help.
