I am still unable to run /usr/bin/freshclam. This happened to me
before and then it eventually started working again for a little but
now has come back for some reason. I really want to understand and
figure this out.

Here is what I get and also nothing appears in the logs from what I can tell:

mail:/var/log/clamav# freshclam
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile =
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).

As you can see below, my /var/log/clamav directory has proper permissions:

drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis     4096 2008-09-21 06:25 clamav

Then in that directory:

mail:/var/log/clamav# ls -l
total 112
-rw-r----- 1 amavis adm  3401 2008-09-22 10:29 clamav.log

-rw-r----- 1 amavis adm  2718 2008-09-14 06:25 freshclam.log.2.gz

Can someone please help me understand and resolve this issue?
