Configurations like e-mail scanning are more common (as you're unlikely to get a virus on your Fedora system anyway, so it's more useful to scan just the stuff which goes through rather than expending CPU cycles on needlessly watching the entire system). I don't cover these configurations (as I don't run a server), other posts on this list have, though. (Just search the archives.) It's hard to explain how to "configure ClamAV" without knowing what it's going to be used for. For manual scanning, you just install the package and run clamscan on the files. For e-mail scanning, you want a filtering plugin ("milter" as sendmail calls them) for your particular MTA (server-side) or MUA (client-side), so you need to tell us what MTA or MUA you want to do filtering in. There are also filters for Samba (to watch reads/writes on Samba-shared file systems), and then there's Clamuko which uses Dazuko to watch the entire system (and you can of course set up paths for Clamuko to watch and not to watch, you don't have to watch all of /).
