Interesting. I never noticed before that the default amavisd setup is to NOT use clamd as a primary antivirus scanner (but antivir is). Mine sees antivir as primary and clamscan as secondary. So the problem for the OP is he only has clamav installed and no primary (by default). I assume he could correct the socket path and uncomment the section for clamd to allow it to work as a primary scanner. Best I assume would be to install a primary scanner from the offering in amavisd.conf, and leave clamscan as a secondary.

My reason for clamd as primary and clamscan as secondary is, that the daemonized version is faster, so the slower command line scanner should only be used when the daemon is unavailable.

Actually, I also have antivir installed (in parallel to clamd as primary). Both are looking for fresh signatures every hour.
