Thanks for your try, but that doesn't seem to be the solution.

ClamAV was compiled using the option --sysconfdir=/etc/clamav ... and I
figured out another interesting "feature". Clamscan doesn't detect the
worm, but Clamdscan does.

When I use strace to figure out, where clamscan is looking for the config
file, there's no appearance of clamav.conf in the output.

Any suggestions?
