ClamClient appears in the clamonacc log file.
I am running clamd and clamonacc.
Ah - disclaimer: I don't use on-access scanning so I'm groping a bit.
Have you set
OnAccessRetryAttempts
in clamd.conf? It defaults to zero, and you might just get away with
it if you set it to some low value. But it seems to me that there may
be more than one issue. Have you checked whether the clamd daemon is
running reliably? That would be my first concern, as it takes quite a
while for it to start up - and if for some reason it dies frequently
while you're doing a filesystem scan or if you're scanning many files
on access then you might expect failures while it's starting back up.
Having said that, I've found clamd extremely reliable, at least in the
ways that I use it (purely for scanning mail, which is nothing like so
intensively as scanning filesystems, nor even as on-access scanning in
an active filesystem).
It would probably help if we could see your configuration. What parts
of the filesystem are you scanning on access? Are you scanning both
on-access and (concurrently) otherwise?
