/var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.pid (or whatever your spool dir is) might be a
better choice for that.

Here you want the user that MD runs as, probably 'defang'.  If you run
MIMEDefang as user 'smmsp', I'd suggest that you change it.

Are you actually using clamuko?  If no, I'd scrap all of the clamuko
settings you have set in there.

Here's my entire config file.  I run clamd as root, it drops priviledges to
the 'mdefang' user, my spool dir is /ram/MIMEDefang.

PidFile /ram/MIMEDefang/clamd.pid
LocalSocket /ram/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock
MaxDirectoryRecursion 15
User mdefang
ArchiveMaxFileSize 10M
ArchiveMaxRecursion 5
ArchiveMaxFiles 1000

The actual error that you were getting FYI, is that when MD sent a "PING" to
clamd to see if it was alive, clamd was supposed to respond with "PONG", but
it didn't.
