There is a known issue with the clamav wrapper on Solaris, which may be
your problem (I believe this will be fixed in the next release).  The
problem is that clamav-wrapper uses 'whoami' to decide if it is being
run as root (which triggers some actions to avoid problems caused by
clam dropping its privs), but whoami isn't in the default path on
Solaris.  Try adding the following lines near the start of the
clamavwrapper....

PATH=$PATH:/usr/ucb
export PATH
