May I point you at this in your MailScanner.conf file?

# ClamAVModule only: monitor each of these files for changes in size to
# detect when a ClamAV update has happened.
# This is only used by the "clamavmodule" virus scanner, not the "clamav"
# scanner setting.
Monitors for ClamAV Updates = /usr/local/share/clamav/*.cvd

It automatically detects pattern updates and reloads MailScanner as and 
when necessary for you. I have already done all the hard work for you :-)
