I think the order of options is important, try to change in something like:

ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -vcodec mpeg4 -map 0.3 -map 0.2 -vtag DIVX -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -r 15
http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

You choose 0.3 and 0.2 as input and therefore output,and then disable 
audio with -an that won't work.
