The error means what it says: Sendmail expects the socket file where
defined and there is none. You have something like

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter', `S=unix:/var/run/clmilter.sock, F=T,
T=S:4m;R:4m;E:4m')dnl

in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc. Sendmail tries to access this socket file
when starten. So you should have started the clamav-milter service prior
to the Sendmail service start. And of course you must have started it at
all. And be sure the /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter configuration file
contains the same socket file location and name as specified in the
sendmail.mc.

is a well written article, explaining some important details.
