Check access on the relevant directories. By default, clamav runs as 
user 'clamav' but amavisd runs as user 'vscan' so the directories where 
the pid, socket AND virus database all need to be reconciled to 
whichever user you run these as. I use 'vscan' so I pass the CLAMAVUSER 
and CLAMAVGROUP this value when I 'make install' clamav initially. Then, 
I add these to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf so that the next portupgrade 
doesn't undo it.

Hope that helps,
