You don't have to worry. I have not installed clamav but it appears they
included TEST files under the clamav document directory to show you that
it will find a file with known signatures of virus.

The one that is interesting is the .RPM-clamav.txt.swp file.  You may
want to look at that to see if it is a true file or something else.  

Check the documentation it should spell this out for you.
