a bit of advice from from /usr/ports/UPDATING:

  AFFECTS: users of security/clamav, security/clamav-devel
  AUTHOR: jylefort at brutele.be

  The ClamAV database path has changed from /usr/local/share/clamav to
  /var/db/clamav. You should update the DatabaseDirectory keyword in
  /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf.
