As I understand it, clamav needs access to local /var/spool/MIMEDefang/
and I don't see any lines in /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl hat point to a
tcp/ip socket for clamav. 

What about moving clamav scans to a second mimedefang instance running
on a different host, which is only responsible for scanning and calling
this mimdefang afterwards?

Ciao!
