What is the "official way" to install clamav?

Seeing clamav is in extras i did a (i use fc3) and
only have core and extras repos no dag,livina etc etc.
These steps were tested on two different fc3 machines.

[capt@bubudiu:~]$ yum install clamav*

Then following
http://www.brennan.id.au/12-Sendmail_Server.html#antivirus

[capt@bubudiu:~]$ cp /etc/clamd.conf
/etc/clamd.conf.original
cp: cannot stat `/etc/clamd.conf': No such file or
directory

[capt@bubudiu:~]$ chkconfig --level 2345 clamd on
error reading information on service clamd: No such
file or directory

There are differing instructions at 
1.
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27510
(mentions unkown package amavis)
2.
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/ron_goulard/clamav/
(uses dag wieers rpms)
3.
http://www.brennan.id.au/12-Sendmail_Server.html#antivirus
(No mention made of method to install clamav, I
suppose it fell from the sky.)

My question to the extras package maintainer :-
1. Are we supposed to install the dag wieers packages
on top of the extras ones?
2. Did you actually test and see that clamav in
installable and usable?
3. What is the purpose of the clamav packages in extras?
