Because you didn't RTFM. :-)

clamdscan passes the file name to clamd, which tries to open it. clamd is 
normally running as an unprivledged user so unless the file is world 
readable (or readbale by the clamd process), you get that error

Sent the file to STDIN and you solve the problem

clamdscan - <phish1.txt
