Wrong procedure.

If you want clamd.conf in /etc use --sysconfdir=/etc .

Have you tried `which freshclam`?  If you want to change the location used by
MailScanner, then you'll have to change lib/clamav-autoupdate, but that's not
the recommended procedure, better uninstall your clamav and re-install with the
--sysconfigdir option (no --prefix).

It's probably under /bin (thanks to your wrong use of the --prefix parameter),
even if /bin did not exist before.
