Amavisd and clamav socket do not match

Agreed, thanks for the suggestion.

Will be changed for 2.7.1 and 2.8.0:

- ClamAV-clamd and ClamAV-clamd-stream av scanners: changed socket name
  in a sample configuration file amavisd.conf to /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock
  (previously the socket name was /var/run/clamav/clamd); this makes it
  compatible with a default socket name under at least Gentoo and FreeBSD;
