I stumbled over the same problems.
clamd is no longer running as root per default, but that was
clearly advertised during my upgrade and is also well documented
in the docs coming with the clamav package.

I choosed to run clamd as user clamav, added the user clamav
to group Debian-exim and have this "AllowSupplementaryGroups"
(or similar) option in my clamav.conf. This solved all troubles
for my setup.
