Please run `/usr/sbin/proftpd -t -c /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' and post the output here. I am curious why the init.d script redirects the output to /dev/null, so assigning straight away.

Init script does not redirect output to /dev/null anymore, should make it easier to see the errors
As for clamav problem itself, please try with new clamav module available in proftpd-1.3.2 (warning: some configuration options have changed), and reopen if problem still occurs. Thanks!
