I don't see any obvious permission problems; make sure your filesystem is not full (is /var/spool/amavisd/tmp/ on root filesystem, or tmpfs, or ???). Maybe run 'dmesg' and check /var/log/ files for any errors. Can you create that p002 directory as root?
Check if the clamav user is member of the amavis group. Here an example from /etc/group file on Debian 9: amavis:x:120:clamav
Its centos 7 cat /etc/group | grep amavis amavis:x:993: cat /etc/group | grep clam clamupdate:x:994: clamscan:x:990: virusgroup:x:988:clamupdate,clamscan i added clamscan to amavis but that didt help.

Hmm, did you restart amavis and the clamav daemon after you added the clamscan user? Please check with 'ps aux' if the clamav daemon is running under clamscan or under another user. These tmp directories are created by amavis to provide an email attachment for scanning as far as i know. So amavis will remove them when finished (or failed).
ps aux | grep amavis amavis 464 0.2 2.1 888020 540980 ? Ssl Jan08 397:36 /usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf --foreground=yes strange the clamd is not restarting as a part op amavisd. I stoped amavisd killed the process, started amavisd and clamd came back up. Looks like the problem is also gone. Thanxs for the support.
