The packages in debian main are stripped, that is, they don't have debugging
information in them, so you are unlikely to get a useful core dump out of a
segfault.  If you want to do useful debugging on the problem, do the
following:

apt-get build-dep clamav
apt-get source clamav
cd clamav-0.80/
$EDITOR debian/rules - remove all the dh_strip calls towards the end.
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ../
dpkg -i all the debs you are currently using (clamd,clamdscan, libclamav1,
etc)

Then wait for a segfault and take a look at the core file with the
instructions on the wiki.

Alternatively, you can increase your logging level - take a look at man
cland.conf(5) for more information there.  It is unlikely that you are
missing a depedency.  I think it is more likely that you're getting hit with
an odd mail that is causing clam to segfault.
