Check /usr/local/share/clamav/daily.inc. We've found several servers
having problems after upgrading clamav to 0.90 and using clamavmodule.
Seems like the new daily.inc directory has been created with the wrong
permissions - it was 700 but I think needs to be 755 so that the
mailscanner user can read it.
