Clamd probably expects to be run as root if it's trying to use
lchown(). Have you tried the --foreground flag?

In any case, you will save yourself a lot of trouble if you just log to
syslog and then tweak your syslog config file to put clamav entries
under /var/log/clamav. Trusting users, developers, distributions, and
init scripts to all agree on the permission scheme for /var/log has
failed.
