I see nothing unusual in your setup, sadly.  I also see no changes to
the logging code in recent verions - I have diff'ed back to 0.87 or so,
and there is no real change.

Can you run:

su - clamav -s /bin/sh
strace -ff freshclam -o strace.out

And send me the file strace.out?

Thanks,

I ran into this issue on one of three servers I upgraded to 0.88.2 
today. After running your trace, it was obvious that another process had 
the logfile already open for writing. An inspection via ps -ef | grep 
freshclam revealed a previous run was hung in some fashion. Killing the 
previous process cleared things up.
