I'm not sure what the issue is with clamav, but it is much preferred to
use clamd. In your MailScanner configuration set

Virus Scanners = clamd
Clamd Socket = /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl or whatever the path is

and of course ensure that the clamd service, which may be called clamd
or clamav-daemon or ?? depending on your distro, is running.
