/etc/clamd.d is a directory; a possible guess would be that clamav changed the
location of where it keeps its files, so it no longer creates that directory,
but amavisd-new is looking there for information about clamd.

Try rpm -q -l clamav and see where it's putting stuff. You might be able to
get it to work with a symbolic link.
