clamdscan uses the clamd daemon to perform scans, and since it runs as user clamav (or the like), it does not have enough permissions to scan calling user's directories if they are protected.

For instance, my .tvtime subdirectory in my home will be scanned by clamscan, but will generate errors using clamdscan. I understand why, but isn't this some sort of shortcoming of this design?

I will use clamscan, not clamdscan, until this can be addressed.
Run clamd as a user with enough privileges.
