I don't think I have clamdwatch - I checked the logs and the full lines were
LOCAL: Removing stale socket file /tmp/clamd.socket
LOCAL: Unix socket file /tmp/clamd.socket

I'm wondering if it was becuase in the virus.scanners.conf i had the lines
clamav        /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper    /usr/local
clamd        /bin/false                /usr/local
clamavmodule    /bin/false                /tmp

I have now changed them to
clamav        /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper    /usr
clamd        /bin/false                /usr
clamavmodule    /bin/false                /usr

so hopefully this will fix the problem.

Thank you very much for your help with this.
