That's right. That location of socket is to let clamd run as _non_ root
(user amavis is a good choice).

Commenting them out isn't worth the trouble. They are searched for only
at amavisd-new startup.

When socket wasn't available, a secondary scanner (clamscan) was used.

A bad way. Change the socket definition in /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf, not
in clamav.conf. Like here:
\&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", '/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl'],
