P.S.S

For what it's worth, it wont remove the file either. Same "can't open file" message is displayed.

If correct, then no, NFS is not involved. Both the directory being scanned and the destination directory for quarantine files on on the root filesystem, local to the machine.

Try this:
$ strace clamscan -r --move=/var/log/clam/infected -l /var/log/clam/dailyclamscanSPM /home/justlgn/test/eicar.com

Then we'll know exactly what happened. "Can't open file" looks like a message from the scanner, if the file couldn't be moved, it should have said that it cannot move the file.
