Why not use the native perl function instead of calling out to system()?
In my plugins/clamav I added (right after the tempfile creation):

chmod 0640, $filename;

For troubleshooting purposes, it's handy to comment out the line:

  unlink($filename);

about halfway down the clam_scan() function. Do that, then have someone
send you a known virus. Then `ls -lrt /tmp | tail` should yield your
incoming file(s). It'll be a 10-character scrambled-looking filename.

Copy that file out to somewhere safe then un-comment that line again so
you don't fill up your /tmp dir.

You can use that file for manual testing thru clamscan and clamdscan as
it is exactly what your MTA is feeding them at receive-time...
