I checked and the layout is as follows:

/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming is a real directory, no links symlinks
or otherwise, and that directory is recursively owned by clamav:clamav
and 0600 are the permissions. When i look inside the directory i do see
a half-dozen or so directories as in the following:

drwx------	2 clamav  clamav	4096 Feb 21 11:02  10792/
drwx------	2 clamav  clamav	4096 Feb 21 11:02  10734/
drwx------	2 clamav  clamav	4096 Feb 21 11:03  13022/
drwx------	2 clamav  clamav	4096 Feb 21 11:03  13413/

and when i look in the most recent one i see some .header files that are
owned by clamav and 0400 are the permissions. So that all looks correct,
unless someone can tell me otherwise.
