I too had problems with permissions, especially when cron ran the
freshclam update.  The method I used to 'fix' this was to compile
clamAV with:
        ./configure --with-user=defang --with-group=defang

Problem solved!

Since I only use clamd with MD on my server I don't see this as
a security issue.  Someone chirp up if the above raises a concern.
