I go to (using firefox's file un-roller)
  http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/
click on
  clamav-0.83-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm
which tries to install but needs clamav-db
so I click on
  clamav-db-0.83-1.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm
which reports it needs data(clamav)
which I found elsewhere and installed but it doesn't matter
then I tried
  clamd-0.83-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm
which needs clamav which was the first thing I tried to install!

I tried the same thing at the clamav site, also stuck on dependencies.
yum from the fc3-extras is the only thng I could make work but as you
said it is out-of-date and doesn't include freshclam.

Assume I have just enough knowledge/experience to get myself into
trouble but not enough to get out... :-)
