Does clamd run as root (for samba-vscan module)? Did you recently update to clamav 0.86.1, and not checked your logfiles? Sorry for all the questions; but, clamav has evolved over the past few versions where the permissions of the logfiles / directories / etc has changed. And many of them can cause problems if the RPMs have not been setup to handle the change properly. One version I packaged, did that on me and I quickly got a new one out. Since I've even changed the spec file a bit to handle my special case of needing to run clamd as root... and keep everything else running as clamav user for database updates and such. I've now gotten in the habit of checking these things more now....
