The quantum interference effect on the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) is studied with the diagrammatic technique in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors with dilute nonmagnetic impurities both near the Born and near the unitary limits. We derive in details the expressions of the Goldstone modes (cooperon and diffuson) for quasiparticle diffusion. The DOS for generic Fermi surfaces is shown to be subject to a quantum interference correction of logarithmic suppression, but with various renormalization factors for the Born and unitary limits. Upon approaching the combined limit of unitarity and nested Fermi surface, the DOS correction is found to become a $\delta$-function of the energy, which can be used to account for the resonant peak found by the numerical studies.
