You can try the util "clamdscan" (NOT clamscan) which will contact clamd
to have files scanned.
If that works your clamd is alive. If it says something along
connect(): No such file or directory
WARNING: Can't connect to clamd.
then your clamd is broken.
Try starting it with
$> /etc/init.d/clamd start
If again that doesn't work - try locating clamd (I don't know where the
clam-sa package is installing it, but I take it it's
/usr/local/sbin/clamd) and start it manually to see what happens.
BR,
Ronny
