Even though you are running as root, freshclam drops privileges to user
clamav. Therefore, user clamav must be able able to write to Clam's data
directory, which is at $PREFIX/share/clamav. It should look something like
this:
# ls -l /opt/clamav/share/clamav
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 32727 Mar 4 09:19 daily.cvd
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 944351 Feb 29 12:38 main.cvd
See also the --datadir and --user options in freshclam.conf.
The Security warning means you didn't have the Gnu MP library when you
compiled freshclam; it's optional but highly recommended. Get it from
http://www.gnu.org/software/gmp/.
