You could do it with a check in the Xymon client.
In client-local.cfg, add
  file:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl
to have the client send information about this
(socket) file. Then in the analysis.cfg config
(hobbit-clients.cfg in older versions), add

   HOST=blabla
      FILE /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl type=socket COLOR=red

This should give you an alert if the file does not
exist, or it is not a socket-type file.
