So the big question:

How does clamav answer to a PING while updating/loading the virus db?
or
How do we detect, that clamd is not dead, but simply updating it's database?

For now, I'll simply disable the clamav protocol test and stick with only checking the INET socket. But that's a workaround, not a solution.

Don't decide after a sample of one that clamd is not responding - look for three failures in nn seconds. If it fails three probes over a short time period it is probably dead.
