You haven't described your environment so it's difficult to understand
what you're trying to achieve but regardless the socket file should be
created automatically by clamd when it starts.

I'm not a Docker expert but it looks like you're sharing the AV
signature databases from the Docker host as a volume with the container,
presumably as Freshclam is running on the host, then trying to run clamd
inside the container.

Is there a reason you want to run Freshclam on the host but clamd in the
container? Is clamd running anywhere else on that host?

If you want clamd to listen on 3310, add the following to clamd.conf and
restart clamd:

TCPSocket 3310
