After the 4 dpkg-reconfigure runs, things seem to be working.  
That was the end result mentioned above.  That nothing in 
/etc/clamav changed after the fresh re-install (after purging) was 
interesting.

It is hard to see the config files as being broken, if they 
weren't changed by any of the dpkg-reconfigure runs.

As I asked, I could easily purge them all again, and reinstall 
again, to check other things (/var/run ?).  Something must have 
changed, in order for things to be working now, but not after the 
initial install.
