Another thing to check for it to make sure amavisd can find the socket
file. You mention the socket file is in /var/run/clamav. I amavisd is
running chroot, as it does by default on some systems, it is probably
locked into /var/lib/amavis and can't see the socket file.
If this is the case, change the path to the socket file to be
/var/lib/amavis/clamd (or where ever the amavisd home is). There are
other things you will need to change, such as the user clamd runs as
(should be amavis) and some directory permissions.
