IMHO rc.local is not the best place to put this at all...

You are calling clamd *daemon* with a "status" argument that it doesn't recognize.
As you are using an init system you should use a init.d/rc.d script (like "/etc/rc.d/clamav"). That script usually accepts a "status" argument, but clamd (daemon) does not.
