[clamav-users] Clam-AV reverts to prior (mis)configuration after each reboot

I can't find a logical explanation for this, so I thought I'd ask here.
I have both clamd and clamav-milter installed on my CentOS 7 machine.
For ease of use, I've got bth configured to use one id, 'clamav'. This
means I use two different directories, /var/run/clamav and
/var/run/clamav-milter, owned by user clamav and set to permissions 711,
to hold the socket/pid files. This is all working well, as far as I can
tell.
However, I've had a number of reboots recently, and after each one the
following happens:
* The clamav directory (/var/run/clamav) is deleted.
* The clamav-milter directory (/var/run/clamav-milter) is changed to
owner clmilt.
The conf files do NOT change. Therefore, I get an error (misleading, at
that) for clamav-milter. Clamav seems to start, but does not create a
socket file, and so the milter can't find it (and can't create its own
run file in a directory it doesn't own.
Does this make sense to anyone?
