No.

clamd: [...] It takes one option: either the path and name of a UNIX
socket file, or a hostname or IP number, and a port, separated by
space, [...]
You are specifying on which host and on which port clamd is listening
on. Your clamd is not listening on the SMTP port (25), isn't it?

Usually you'll make sure to restrict access to both clamd and
spamassassin, if both are running on the same machine binding on the
loopback interface only is a obvious first step. In this case you
_have_ to use localhost or 127.0.0.1.
Personally I use a UNIX domain socket instead.
