It should work as you expected. Using --with-user sets CLAMAVUSER which is
also used by freshclam, so the default user should have been set to vscan.

In config.log is #define CLAMAVUSER "vscan" set? And in freshclam/Makefile
is CLAMAVUSER = vscan set?

Can you provide any more info on the version your using, platform your
building on etc.

Cheers
