Even better:
create a separate user:group for clamav, add that user to amavisd's 
group (by means of the /etc/group entry like "amavis:x:105:clamav") and 
use AllowSupplementaryGroups in clamd.conf. This way clamd will be able 
to read amavisd's files without giving to amavisd too much power over 
clamd.
