This is probably not the kind of answer you would expect, but
it is advised not to let /tmp be on the root filesystem, exactly
for that reason. Clamav or any program or user can bring the 
system down...

You could create a separate /tmp partition (certainly the best 
solution), or create a /var/tmp and link it to /tmp
(From your partition scheme, same for /home if you have users,
but I suppose you know that :-) ).

This is of course not specific to clamav, just a UNIX "best practise"
you probably know about anyway.

Hope this helps ...
(And hope someone will answer the actual question ;-) )
