ok, I missed this:

clamconf -n
Checking configuration files in /usr/local/etc

Config file: clamd.conf
-----------------------
LogFile = "/var/log/clamd.log"
LogFileMaxSize disabled
LogTime = "yes"
LogSyslog = "yes"
LogFacility = "LOG_MAIL"
LogVerbose = "yes"
PidFile = "/var/run/clamd.pid"
LocalSocket = "/tmp/clamd.socket"
ScanMail disabled <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

fixed.

website.
