So... clamd@scan is a system service which is used on RedHat derived systems
via variants of the EPEL packed version of ClamAV.
By itself it does nothing. You need to tell it what to do by use of the
clamdscan binary, which passes file contents/file names/file descriptors
(depending on configuration) to the listening clamd service.
It's possible to create multiple clamd services by creating different config
files in /etc/clamd.d/, which are then referenced by different clamd@ service
names - so for example clamd@scan, clamd@mail etc.
If you want to do a daily scan, the basic command would be:
clamdscan /
...but you need to configure clamd in /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf to do this.

Subject: Re: [clamav-users] ClamAV - What does the “clamd@scan” service do by
default?
Thank you friends!
I confess that I am a little disappointed... If "clamd@scan" does not regularly
scan my disk, what is its use then?
I confess that I was a little "lost" with ClamAV documentation... In fact, the
only things I need are that ClamAV scan my server's disk for threats and also
stop them before it happens. I thought this was simpler doing it with ClamAV...
Thank you very much anyway!
Sorry for my bad English! =D
Thanks! =D
