What is the $HOME of your clamav user? /root ???
I got such an error once when the owner of that $HOME was different than
the "User amavis" directive (in your case).
I solved it by
cd /usr/local/share/clamav
chown -R amavis .
[I am using your User]
When clamav is installed in my FreeBSd system, the clamav user has the
home in /usr/local/share/clamav. YMMV.
