You can use the amavisd-release utility that comes with 2.3.3.

It is a utility that tells amavisd daemon to fetch
a mail from a local quarantine, and send it to MTA
through its regular channels, bypassing re-checking.

By default it connects to socket /var/amavis/amavisd.sock,
on which amavisd should be listening for AM.PDP protocol,
but you can use inet socket instead of Unix socket if you
need to run amavisd-release from a remote host.

In the amavisd.conf file you need to add (or uncomment) the:

$unix_socketname = "$MYHOME/amavisd.sock";
$interface_policy{'SOCK'} = 'AM.PDP';
$policy_bank{'AM.PDP'} = {
protocol => 'AM.PDP', # Amavis policy delegation protocol
inet_acl => [qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] )], # applies in case of inet socket
};

$auth_required_release = 0; # to allow release without giving secret_id

(note that turning off this check is safe as long as the access to the
socket is restricted, like with file protections on a Unix socket,
or with inet_acl to specific IP addresses with inet socket)

Then, use the exact quarantine location from a log file to release
the message, e.g.:

amavis[29297]: (29297-01-6) Blocked SPAM, ... <...> -> <...>,
quarantine: spam/U/UM3XM3XDbN52.gz,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
