There's some confusion here.
There need to be TWO sockets.  One is for clamd.  The other is for clamav-milter.
sendmail.mc needs to point to the clamav-milter socket.  clamav-milter needs to 
produce this socket for sendmail, and also know where the clamd socket is.

It works like this:
sendmail -> clamav-milter.sock
clamav-milter -> clamd.sock
clamd scans and passes the result back to clamav-milter
clamav-milter tells sendmail what to do

sendmail.mc should have
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=local:/var/run/clamav/milter.sock, F=T, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl

/etc/clamav.conf (or clamd.conf for 8.x) should have
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock

start clamd as
/usr/local/sbin/clamd

start clamav-milter as
/usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter -Cfq /var/run/clamav/milter.sock

FIRST start clamd, SECOND start clamav-milter, FINALLY start sendmail
