Any ideas why a tmp file/dir could not be created

My best guess would be that the filesystem filled up momentarily.

Perhaps it's on a network connection that was unavailable?
Permissions?

The files system is the /tmp directory which is 10GB and is not on a
network connection. The permissions on the /tmp are rwxrwxrwxt. I'm not
sure if any of these are the problem. It's bothersome not to known what
may be causing this.

Anyway, if It happens again can clam be disabled by simply putting
clam=no in the simcontrol file and rebuilding the cdb database?

Yes.

I wonder if the gnome desktop programs might be a clue to this. You might try going to runlevel 3 next time and see if that cures it. It's entirely possible that something in gnome went bonkers writing to a tmp file.

BL, there appears to be something in your system that's not playing nice with /tmp/. The only things I can think of that would prohibit creating a local directory is space and permissions.

clamav can be configured to use whatever other directory you want for tmp, but I wouldn't go there except as a last resort, as it would make upgrading a pain should any stock changes need to be made to clamd.conf.
