For anyone that cares... if I directly specify the daily.cvd file, clamscan works. This command, clamscan -r -d /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd / works, so I may have a bug or issue to report to the clam AV people.

I would recommend going to single-user mode and running fsck IMMEDIATELY, and then perhaps reinstalling clamscan. Something has got that filename badly badly hosed and I suspect disk corruption.
