Sorry for the noise I'm making ! I just found out that the error message was generated by the init script and really has nothing to do with clamav package itself ! The start-up script was looking for main.cvd and when it couldn't find it it balked out with before mentioned error message !
I just changed the script to look for the new database and things are working just fine as the way they meant to be. Sorry again.
