Could you show the output from

ls /etc/MailScanner/wrapper
(just to verify that this is actually correct... Seems a bit odd:)

ls -l /usr/bin/clamscan /usr/local/bin/clamscan
(just to determine if the "final /usr" in virus.scanners.conf is correct).

I'm guessing that the deb package might have things set a bit odd (at
least compared to the usual rpm or tarball install of MailScanner)...
And that the install of clamav from source that is "sort off biting
you":-).
If you have clamscan in /usr/local/bin, as would be normal with a
straight build from source, then you'd probably only need change /usr
to /usr/local in the third column for clamav (in virus.scanners.conf,
of course:).
