Since upgrading to 0.102.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 this past Wednesday
I'm seeing the above error in my syslog. I see the same error if I set
the temporary path to /var/tmp

clamd[25154]: LibClamAV Error: cli_gentempfd_with_prefix: Can't create
temporary file /var/tmp/clamav-f297c096fb16292e8547120761d949f3.tmp:
Permission denied

Permissions for /var/tmp are
drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 12288 Jan 10 19:26 tmp

and for /var/lib/clamav
drwxrwxr-x 3 clamav clamav 4096 Jan 10 18:04 clamav

Any suggestions?

Check the list archives, I think this has been discussed recently.

I had a similar problem show up after I was fiddling around with a
working freshclam - stopping the various clam* daemons, counting to ten,
and re-starting them cleared the problem.

I checked the archives and also Googled the error couldn't find
anything. Maybe I was using the incorrect search terms?
