This seems to be a fix for the "error /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-daemon.postinst: 626: /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-daemon.postinst: cannot create : Directory nonexistent"

line 626 of clamav-daemon.postinst has a typo:

    [ -n "$PidFile" ] && echo "PidFile $PidFile" >> $DEBCONFILE

should actually be

    [ -n "$PidFile" ] && echo "PidFile $PidFile" >> $DEBCONFFILE

I edited the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-daemon.postinst making the change, then re-ran apt-get install clamav which then worked.
