Thanks for reporting this problem.
It's caused by a variable name mismatch in clamav-milter's postinst 
script, which is now fixed in git [1].

Only MilterSocket, User and OnClean are affected, MilterSocketMode works 
correctly:
# echo "clamav-milter clamav-milter/MilterSocketMode string 660" | \
  debconf-set-selections
# apt install clamav-milter
[...]
# cat /etc/clamav/clamav-milter.conf | grep "MilterSocketMode"
MilterSocketMode 660

Best regards,
Andreas
