I would suggest using John Simpsons patches to run Qmail.  His website is a
vast repository for Qmail related stuff including getting Clam Antivirus to
play nicely with qmail.  Your just having a permission problem which is not
to hard to solve.  Check out http://qmail.jms1.net/ (Don't use IE when
visiting it)

Also you can look at Qmailrocks at www.qmailrocks.org but it is out of date
software wise.  It will have some good instructions to help you understand
what you are doing.

And running Clamd as root is just asking for tons of trouble, do NOT do
that!!!!
