Improving Results
I am running Spamassassin 3.003002 and sa-update -D indicates I have
these modules installed.
module installed: Digest::SHA1, version 2.12
module installed: HTML::Parser, version 3.64
module installed: Net::DNS, version 0.65
module installed: NetAddr::IP, version 4.027
module installed: Time::HiRes, version 1.9721
module installed: Archive::Tar, version 1.58
module installed: IO::Zlib, version 1.09
module installed: Digest::SHA1, version 2.12
module installed: MIME::Base64, version 3.08
module installed: DB_File, version 1.82
module installed: Net::SMTP, version 2.31
module installed: Mail::SPF, version v2.008
module installed: IP::Country::Fast, version 604.001
module installed: Razor2::Client::Agent, version 2.84
module installed: Net::Ident, version 1.23
module installed: IO::Socket::INET6, version 2.56
module installed: IO::Socket::SSL, version 1.31
module installed: Compress::Zlib, version 2.021
module installed: Mail::DKIM, version 0.37
module installed: DBI, version 1.609
module installed: Getopt::Long, version 2.38
module installed: LWP::UserAgent, version 5.833
module installed: HTTP::Date, version 5.831
module installed: Encode::Detect, version 1.01
I also have greylisting and Clamav running. Is there anything else I
can add to decrease the spam that gets through? I still have some
phishing, spam delivery notices and spam funeral notices that get
through. It catches most everything but enough still gets through to
be annoying.

Somewhat off-topic, but you could also add the Sanesecurity signatures
to ClamAV. They will catch quite a bit of phishing emails, spam,
malware, etc. My ClamAV installation gets many more hits from these
signatures than from the official ones.
Signature descriptions:

Scripts to keep the sigs up to date:

Watch your memory usage. As with SA, adding a bunch of new signatures
can significantly increase the memory footprint.
