I know I'm mainly a win user... So sorry in advance... but if you created a 
Linux ram drive... Pointed clamav temp files to the ram drive... Would that 
get around the issue...

Clamd.conf...

# Optional path to the global temporary directory.

   77 # Default: system specific (usually /tmp or /var/tmp).
   78 #TemporaryDirectory /var/tmp


So when clamav scans ... its temporary files are in the ram disc.
