What do you get if you run sudo -u clam_user_name /usr/bin/clamconf -c /opt/ -n
where clam-user-name is the name in the clamd.conf that you chose.
Please note the clamconf -c option takes a directory name, not a file name.

Hi,
I tried both suggested and its working fine but unable to run clamd with
/opt/clamd.conf.
Even i tried running with root user and seeing error.
opt directory is with 0777 permission.
Strange behaviour.

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.

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?
