If you are using 0.90.1 (run 'apt-cache policy clamav' to verify version), it's 
a known issue that 0.90.1 can take several minutes (I have heard of up to 15) 
to create a clamd socket. The CPU may peg at 100% during this time also. If I 
recall, it was due to an incompatibility with newer pattern files. The fix is 
to upgrade. The easy way to do it is to install from etch volatile.
 
I suggest adding the etch volatile source to /etc/apt/sources.list:
 
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main
 
Then:
 
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key BBE55AB3

gpg --armor --export BBE55AB3 | apt-key add -
 
apt-get update
 
apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam
 
(and any other modules you may need).
 
At least, this is how I would do it. YMMV.
 
If you are already using latest version from volatile, then I dunno.
