I think I am affected by the same bug.

I installed clamav-daemon using the command line:
sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon

anatoly@NLANGo:~$ clamd
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/clamav.log in append mode (check permissions!).

I am running Ubuntu 9.10, i386
I will try to add some additional information to this bug report using apport-collect command on my computer.

Probably, this bug is related to Bug #433764
