Hi,
This is probably caused by permissions of the /opt which do not allow the user
which clamd is running as, to access this directory.
In such cases, you can try option:
clamdscan --stream
In this case, if the user executing clamdscan has permissions over the
directory, clamdscan reads the files and streams them to clamd using the clamd
socket.
If you do not use this option, behavior is selected automatically, which for
scans where clamd and clamdscan are started on the same machine, is clamd to try
to directly scan the directory, which causes troubles if his user do not have
permissions to traverse the directory/files.
Regards,
Deyan

What are the directory permissions/extended permissions for /opt?
Did you try sudo -u clamdUserName cat /opt/clamd.conf to see if the clamd user
has permission to access the file?

Curious why unable to run clamd config in /opt directory. In other system
