As shipped by Debian, there is a /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf and the clamd.conf does contain LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl on line 4, but that's a perfectly valid option. I would either as root or using sudo depending on how your system is set up do apt-get purge clamav-freshclam clamav-daemon This will remove some other packages too. Take note of the list of packages removed and then apt-get install those packages again. Not sure what happened with your system, but somehow it's configured significantly differently than as shipped in the package originally.
