Try it as that user:
su - postfix -s /bin/bash
clamscan ....
and perhaps try the wrapper too.
Should show a more eloquent error, if any.
When you call the wrapper, you should use the options as specified in
SweepViruses.pm ...
Something like
/usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper /usr/local -r --disable-summary --stdout .
.... somewhere appropriate.
