Why don't you use clamdscan with clamd and edit your clamav.conf
file appropriately? clamdscan is a good bit faster than clamscan (doesn't
have to load the sig database for each scan), and if you set it up with
daemontools and Monit then you can quickly recover from problems when/if
clamd hangs or crashes.

I don't know which version of clamscan you're running, but 0.70rc includes
support for BinHex scanning and OLE2 document scanning. I believe it also
includes support for macro virus scanning. For this reason I highly recommend
running 0.70rc, however, I've experienced a lot of instability with clamd-0.70rc
on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. I *highly* recommend running it with Monit and
daemontools. Otherwise, if you don't want to set those packages up, you're
probably better off running clamscan, but you should still upgrade to 0.70rc.
