Worth saying that the version of clamav in the ports is old (0.65), though
the clamav-devel port is somewhat more current.  It looks like the
maintainers of the clamav ports aren't quite so active as could be hoped
for.

If you up the log settings for clamd you'll find that the problem is that
it's passed a directory to scan.  As that directory is only accessible to
the user mailnull you have to run clamd as mailnull.
