I'd like to suggest the addition of two configuration options in 
MailScanner.conf:

ClamAV Log File
======================
Custom path for ClamAV log file (or perhaps any virus scanner).  For 
example, I have changed 
$LogFile = "/tmp/ClamAV.update.log";
to
$LogFile = "/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log";
in /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-autoupdate

ClamAV Work Dir
===============
It's nice to have ClamAV work in a tmpfs filesystem.  For example, I have 
changed
TempDir="/tmp/clamav.$$"
to
TempDir="/dev/shm/clamav.$$"
in /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper
