Have you checked the "User detail" log (button on the "i" tab of the database properties) to see whether there is some ID doing a large number of writes on Sunday night? That's your likely culprit. (If the database is not set to record user activity, activate this option. Deletes are not distinguishable from updates in this log, unfortunately). No, this is not the same thing as log.nsf.
How certain are you that there is not an agent in _another_ database that might be accessing this one and deleting documents?
Run fixup manually and see if the documents vanish.
Create a new replica of the database and see whether the new replica has the same problem.
New copy, ditto.
Write an agent to run every five minutes over Sunday night. This agent should check how many documents are in the database and "print" the number it finds (set to run on all documents, and print session.currentdatabase.unprocesseddocuments.count), so that you can pinpoint more precisely when the documents vanish. Look for any and all log entries in the time between the last run that shows documents and the first one that shows 0. There are a few different kinds of log entries that don't all appear in the same view of the log, so make sure you look at all of them.
Previously, someone asked whether you were using transactional logging. You asked what that was. I suggest you read the documentation. It's not the same thing as the log.nsf file. If someone gives you a hint, you can follow up on it. The name of something is enough information to find it in the help.
If all this doesn't help, contact Lotus Support. You will at least have enough information from the above tests to narrow the problem down and get a quicker solution.
