Check the logs and config files. Clamscan loads the databases itself before running. It does not need clamd to be running in order to work.
Clamdscan attempts to use a socket to talk with clamd for the scanning of files. If there is an error, one of two things is happening: Either the permissions on the socket aren’t allow clamdscan (as you) to use it, Or clamd isn’t listening on it.
