I have passed those arguments to clamd and put eicar.txt.com virus in that SCAN folder. Nothing happened. But If I use clamsan/clamdscan on command line it finds it.
#clamd -h Clam AntiVirus Daemon 0.97.2 By The ClamAV Team: http://www.clamav.net/team (C) 2007-2009 Sourcefire, Inc. --help -h Show this help. --version -V Show version number. --debug Enable debug mode. --config-file=FILE -c FILE Read configuration from FILE. Also I don't see any of those options on the box but man page talks about it.
