I actually just finished a from-scratch setup like this, however, I'd recommend 
not
changing the default permissions/ownership of package files. I'd put all the 
ClamAV stuff
back to it's original ownership, add the user clamd runs as to the amavis 
group, and set
the "AllowSupplementalGroups" option to "yes" in the clamd.conf file. For the 
places where
they intereact, you then just need to make sure the amavis directories are 
accessible by
the amavis group.
