Most likely clamd is not running at all, or you are running Qmail-Scanner and clamd under a different uid. If you are running Qmail-Scanner as qscand (default setting) you could put User qscand inside your clamd.conf file and restart clamd. Remember to check that qscand can create clamd.ctl (usually located at /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl). The same applies to the log file. The suggested setup is: put User qscand and AllowSupplementaryGroups in clamd.conf, then add user qscand to group clamav and make the socket dir and the log dir group writable by clamav. Another possible reason for the aforementioned problem is that your softlimit is set too low. Try raising it to 40MB at least.
