drwxr-xr-x 4 clamav clamav 4096 Jun 4 05:41 clamav

So it should be writable by qscand

I'm getting an error:

# chown qscand /var/clamav
chown: `qscand': invalid user

Do you have qmail-scanner installed?

Usually folks here yum install qmail-scanner pyzor dcc razor clamd

This gives you a very good defense on spam and viruses. The qmail-scanner program ties it all together with qmail.
