clamd.sock is created once clamav starts running. It is used to interchange data between amavis and clamav Just make sure tha Amavisd-new and Clamav are pointing at the same clamd.sock file in their respective configuration files.
One caveat. Make sure that you are using the right amavisd.conf file. RPMFORGE builds it inside the /etc/amavisd directory, while extras will build it into /etc directory.

I think this is a temporary file (not really a file - a socket id for
inter-program communication perhaps).

For clamav alone I have: rpm -qa|grep clam|sort
clamav-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-data-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-lib-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-update-0.88.1-1.fc5

Did you write this one down correctly ? It seems the current version is
0.88.1-1.fc5 on my machine. What repos do you have enabled ?
I don't think you need the -devel rpm
try to get clamscan going first:
# yum install clamav
# edit /etc/freshclam as needed
# freshclam --verbose
# clamscan --verbose --log=clamscan.20060417.txt --recursive --infected
/home/
Are you looking at some howto info for amavisd ? try:
