PING/PONG is useless. It could have been better if the server had send
a banner at connection startup.

IMHO, the main misfit of the STREAM command is the random TCP
port. You have to open your firewall to allow any connection to any
port from clamd clients to servers.
Some other
- return string is not clear (not documented)
- server may close the stream connection when a virus is found
at start of data (not documented)
- you can't pass options (check mail/check data) to commands
- log file is clueless (it just tell the TCP port and file descriptor,
not even the client IP address)
