Are you using *_contains_virus_clamd() or *_contains_virus_clamav()
functions?
The daemonized scanner requires a local socket accessible to the
defang user, which your configuration doesn't include. Also note
that there was a bug in clamav 0.65 causing intermittent hangs; I'd
suggest upgrading to 0.66.
Though there are other options, I personally prefer to run clamd as
the defang user and "chown defang" all files/directories touched by
clamav.
