Get ClamAV running on Mac OS X (using Homebrew)
The easiest way to get the ClamAV package is using Homebrew
$ brew install clamav
Before trying to start the clamd process, you'll need a copy of the ClamAV databases.
$ cp /usr/local/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
comment out line 8 'Example' in freshclam.conf and make sure the following line is there around line 79: 'DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net'
$ cp /usr/local/etc/clamav/clamd.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/clamav/clamd.conf
comment out line 8 'Example' and uncomment line 85 'LocalSocket /tmp/clamd.socket'
Then run
$ /usr/local/Cellar/clamav/0.99.2_1/bin/freshclam -v
to download the ClamAV databases. The output will look something like this:
Current working dir is /usr/local/Cellar/clamav/0.99.2_1/share/clamav
