This is weird, because the firmware-realtek package is completely 
unrelated to the clamav packages.

I still can't reproduce this in virtualbox, even if I first install 
firmware-realtek and then clamav and clamav-daemon.

Anyway I fear that we can't do much in the clamav package, if 
firmware-realtek somehow breaks its configuration. Thus I suggest that 
you file a bug against firmware-realtek.

Best regards,
Andreas
