Description and source codes of mod_clamav: https://github.com/jbenden/mod_clamav

In the settings of the component which communicates directly with Dr.Web ClamD as with the anti-virus daemon, specify the clamd connection address as the path to the UNIX socket or to the TCP socket listened by Dr.Web ClamD at one of the endpoints created in the socket configuration.
