Your logrotate program rotated the log out from under clamd and then
didn't HUP clamd to let it know that it needed to reopen logfiles. Look
in /etc/logrotate.d/ and see what, if any, files reference the clamd
logfiles. Here's what mine looks like on a Gentoo box. It should be
similar to yours after you adjust for your paths:
smtp1 ~ # cat /etc/logrotate.d/freshclam
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log {
create 644 clamav clamav
monthly
compress
postrotate
/bin/killall -HUP freshclam
endscript
}
smtp1 ~ # cat /etc/logrotate.d/clamav
/var/log/clamav/clamav.log {
create 644 clamav clamav
weekly
compress
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid` 2>/dev/null ||
true
endscript
}
