You question had nothing to do with the original thread you posted in, I'll move it to a new thread. Try the solution here: site:zimbra.com +"cp: cannot stat `/opt/zimbra/clamav/db/main.cvd.init': No such file or directory" - Yahoo! Search Results

Thanks phoenix

After following this link :
Clam AntiVirus : Multiple vulnerabilities

I had used this line

/opt/zimbra/clamav/bin/freshclam --config-file=/opt/zimbra/conf/freshclam.conf

and the result is

ClamAV update process started at Mon Sep 19 13:40:20 2011

The warnings can be ignored, is everything working OK now?

Probably you must update your clamd. It's not a bug. I don't know, why you have connection refused to your outdated clamd. Probably your clamd databases is corrupted. See below

You have this problem: cp: cannot stat `/opt/zimbra/clamav/db/main.cvd.init': No such file or directory,
because the outdated clamd cann't download a new database file (for new version of clamd).

If you want, you can use a own external clamd (up to date) engine in the same operating system or external service (reconfigure your amavisd.conf (antyvirus section) for other clamd service). This solution is recommended by me. Clamd version change frequently and better (and safety) update it manually.
