When setting up a clamd service, you should need to enable the service, 
create the configuration file, and typically set up 
/etc/tmpfiles.d/clamd-<service>.conf.  That file should have one line:

d /run/clamd.<service> 0700 daemon daemon -

...or whatever user you use for clamd.  If you don't have the proper 
tmpfiles setup, the run directory won't exist or won't have the correct 
owner, and either standard permissions or SELinux may deny the process 
access to the run directory.
