The easiest way to get the ClamAV package is using Homebrew
$ brew install clamav
Before trying to start the clamd
process, you'll need a copy of the ClamAV databases.
Create a freshclam.conf
file and configure as so
# /usr/local/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
Then run
$ freshclam -v
to download the ClamAV databases. The output will look something like this:
Current working dir is /usr/local/Cellar/clamav/0.98.1/share/clamav

Next we'll need to create a clamd.conf
# /usr/local/etc/clamav/clamd.conf
LocalSocket /usr/local/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock
You'll need to ensure that the socket directory exists
$ mkdir /usr/local/var/run/clamav
You should now be able to run
$ clamd
to start the process.
