Google:
https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%27%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fclamav%2Fclamd.socket%27:+connect:+No+such+file+or+directory%29
First hit is the Arch Wiki,
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ClamAV#Error:_Clamd_was_NOT_notified ,
on Ubuntu, before running the "touch" command run
$ sudo -i
all commands of course without the prompts "$" or "#":
"Error: Clamd was NOT notified
If you get the following messages after running freshclam:
WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Cannot connect to clamd through
/var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock connect(): No such file or directory
Add a sock file for ClamAV:
# touch /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
# chown clamav:clamav /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
Then, edit /etc/clamav/clamd.conf - uncomment this line:
LocalSocket /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
Save the file and restart the daemon"
In your case edit
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.socket
to
# LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.socket
now with the leading "#".
