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.
