if you use amavisd-new (not sure about the ng stuff) you put it before 
cyrus.  I use lmtp delivery and it works just fine.

excerpts from main.cf

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp
content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024


excerpts from master.cf
smtp-amavis unix -      -       y     -       2  smtp
    -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
    -o disable_dns_lookups=yes

127.0.0.1:10025 inet n  -       y     -       -  smtpd
    -o content_filter=
    -o local_recipient_maps=
    -o relay_recipient_maps=
    -o smtpd_restriction_classes=
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
    -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
    -o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes

I took this setup pretty much straight from the debian documentation for 
amavisd and it works like a champ.  I have clam installed for the virus 
detection and spamassassin  for  spam.   Amavisd takes care of  calling 
them.
