Try putting some stuff at the start of virus-scan.sh: set -x pwd id You can then verify that it is running as root and where. The -x will let you check the command line of clamscan is correct. Thought: is clamscan setuid or something? If you get nowhere there, try stracing the clamscan run: strace -e trace=file /usr/bin/clamscan ...args..here... 2>/root/strace.out and you should get to see exactly what clamscan is doing, filewise.
