In case someone gets "ERROR: Broken or not a CVD file" when trying to restart clamd, the fix is below.

"Stopping Clam AntiVirus Daemon: [FAILED]
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: LibClamAV Error: cli_cvdverify: Can't read CVD header
LibClamAV Error: Can't load /var/clamav/main.cvd: Broken or not a CVD file
ERROR: Broken or not a CVD file"

To fix this you need to run : /usr/bin/freshclam -v

After all updates you should see :
WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /tmp/clamd.socket
connect(): No such file or directory

Run : /etc/init.d/clamd ; /etc/init.d/freshclam restart - and everything should be ok.

After the first problem happen I restart the server, still the problem exist. I have to manually delete /tmp/clamd.socket than restart server again to solve the problem...
