Typing 'clamd' gives no response whatsoever,

Again, how do you get your package (rpm, source, binary .tar.gz, etc)?
Next, find out where your clamav.conf is. There sould be a line similar to

LocalSocket /tmp/clamd ==> The location of your socket
LogFile /usr/local/share/clamav/clamd.log ==> clamd log file

You might use syslog for clamd instead of LogFile. In that case, to help debugging,
add LogFile line to clamav.conf. Make sure that file/directory is writable by clamav user.
Then, start clamd and see what your clamd.log says. A successful start would have
these entries :

clamscan has installed and is functional.
My symptoms are the same.


What do I need to do I have read as much info as I can get hold of.
Would clamav-milter installation improve the situation.

I'm using amavisd-new to tie everything together, spamassassin is working fine.



You don't need clamav-milter for amavisd-new. Just read amavisd-new docs or config file,
see where it expects clamd to be (path to local socket, or TCP port) then change
your clamav.conf to match it. It might help if you run clamav as the same user as amavis
(e.g change User line on clamav.conf).
