Thanks Dennis, I used nc -zv to try and connect to port 3310 with
127.0.0.1 as per my settings:

nc -zv 127.0.0.1 3300-3400
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3300 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3301 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3302 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3303 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3304 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3305 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3306 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3307 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3308 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3309 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3310 (tcp) failed: Connection refused

Odd that in all the years I've run ClamAV with the same settings I've 
not had this problem. 

Using nc -l 3310 in one terminal and nc 127.0.0.1 3310 I get:

nc -l 3310
test
this is a test

 nc 127.0.0.1 3310
test
this is a test

So, IIUC I can talk to port 3310 with 127.0.0.1 or am I incorrect?
