I actually found it on the front page of mailscanner.info

You also need to make one change to your MailScanner.conf file: "Monitors
for ClamAV Updates = /usr/local/share/clamav/*.inc/*
/usr/local/share/clamav/*.cvd"

I also added in /usr/local/share/clamav/*.*db like you suggested, and --lint
works fine now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this!
