Had the same thing... check the path listed in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for the 
clamav socket. Also check the permissions of the socket file.

>From my sendmail.cf
Xclamav-milter, S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock, 
F=,T=S:4m;R:4m;E:10m

>From clamd.conf
PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid

In /var/run/clam[javanree at www clamav]$ ll
total 8
-rw-rw----    1 clamav   clamav          4 Jan 22 16:46 clamav-milter.pid
srwxr-xr-x    1 clamav   clamav          0 Jan 22 16:46 clamav-milter.sock
-rw-rw----    1 clamav   clamav          3 Jan 22 16:46 clamd.pid

My /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter

CLAMAV_FLAGS="  --quiet \
                --dont-wait \
                --force-scan \
                --dont-log-clean \
                --server=localhost \
                --pidfile=/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid \
                local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock \
                "

Hope this helps... it's most likely a path mixup... doublecheck those
