i have no idea about that old systems after switching to systemd many 
years ago but in other posts you are talking about /etc/rc.d/rc.local 
containing clamd related stuff

get rid of that nonsense - there is pretty sure at the same time a 
sysvinit service in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ enabled and services *for sure* 
don't belong in rc.local at all - that file should be just empty on any 
sane setup

# cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
/usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d
