In most forum reports of this problem it appears to be a conflict with the xmap sitemap extension. If you are using xmap, it probably will work again if you uninstall xmap and re-install the VirtueMart core and plugin (AIO) zip files again. Other solutions are available in the forum if you search for 'virtuemart menu disappeared'.
