Thanks guys.
I tried to do this on Fedora (telneting the socket as Noel suggested), and 
it doesn't work.
I simply changed my clamd.conf so that clamd now works as a TCP socket 
instead.
By default is port 3310 on 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>, and then I simply 
Telnet it, and issued a PING:
 # telnet localhost 3310
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>).
Escape character is '^]'.
PING
PONG
Connection closed by foreign host.
 Thanks for all your help
