The stalled boot may have nothing to do with ClamAV - it could very well be the 
next thing that the init process is trying to start. You may find this

You can boot to single user mode and explore the startup scripts and logs to see 
if any clues pop up. If nothing else you can attempt to disable the startup 
script for ClamAV and any subsequent suspicious processes.
