Are you sure?

I don't remember the error message (and the above doesn't look like you
should do the following, but not AFAIR I searched for the problem for a
while), but maybe the following helps.

chown -R clamav:vscan /var/run/clamav; chmod -R g+w /var/run/clamav;

If you use portupgrade I suggest to make sure
your /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf contains something similar to this:
---snip---
  BEFOREDEINSTALL = {
        'security/clamav' => '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam.sh stop; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd.sh stop',
  }


  AFTERINSTALL = {
    'security/clamav' => 'chown -R clamav:vscan /var/run/clamav; chmod -R g+w /var/run/clamav; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam.sh start; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd.sh start',
  }
---snip---

Bye,
Alexander.
