I have confirmed this problem on dapper, and feisty herd5.
Same happens when starting the havp process via

sudo /etc/init.d/havp start:

Starting havp: Starting HAVP Version: 0.82
Filesystem not supporting mandatory locks!
On Linux, you need to mount filesystem with "-o mand"
Exiting..

I had to manually mount /var/run with the mand option, and then to manually install clamav, and finally run sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force havp (with running havp) in order to fix it.

Thank you for your reply but I am a newbie and I have no idea what your
talking about when you say "mount file system with -o mand" and how
exactly do I "mount /var/run with the mand option"? Can you tell me
each step what to type in Terminal? Thanks again. Thomas

Works fine with the current havp from Hardy.
