Thanks for responding:

Yes the directory exists

Permissions:
[root etc]# ls -la /var/run/clamav
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  2 clam clam 4096 Apr 29 14:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 4096 Jun 26 14:40 ..

Okay. Now I see what happened. The owner and group should be set to clamav. And now it works. Thank you. I knew it was something simple.

This makes sense. After a yum update clam sets the log file owner to clam:clam instead of clamav:clamav and it must also change the user name which causes the permissions error. How can I get amavisd, spamassassin, and clam to play nicely with Yum Update?
