Is SpamBayes still running (i.e. you can select the Manager from the
SpamBayes menu)?  If so, check your most recent log (the troubleshooting
guide explains where they can be found).  It should have an entry for each
message that it receives, indicating whether it was ham/unsure/spam, and
what was done with it.

If everything is still working, but there are no spam messages listed in the
log, then it sounds most like someone upstream of your (e.g. your ISP)
turned on some sort of spam filtering for you, which has wiped it out.  This
is either good for you (you can stop worrying about using any spam filter)
or bad (if their filtering results in any false positives and you can't get
that mail back).
