Sorry, i may have misread your post - is your site listed in the index? Use allinurl: [site_domain] to see. If you are indexed then you aren't banned and possibly suffering a sandbox effect or ...

I have had some sites do the same thing as yours, but it typically only lasts a few days to maybe a week (never much longer). At first I panicked and made all kinds of changes, etc. thinking I was dumped for suspicious linking, etc. Sooner or later, though, they all came back up.

I have had at least one site I can think of disappear 5+ times and then reappear right back where it was ranked before. My assumption is Googlebot went to index it and something happened to make it think the site was either down or moved, etc.

In the end, I just don't panic, don't change anything and wait until the site comes back on - which it always does.
