I've just spent a frustrating two hours trying to get clamav installed
and running. Ultimately I turned if off again to get mail flowing.
First, there are too many different packages required to get the
system working: clamav-milter, clamav-scanner, freshclam, etc....
There should be an easy to install package that gets everything.
Second: The integration into the user system is messy, two usernames
and multiple groups and conflicting permissions are in use.
Third: It takes manual intervention to get sendmail.mc correctly
formed and clamav integrated. I understand that this is necessarily a
manual process, but there is essentially no documentation of what
should be done in a recipe.
Fourth: Clamav-milter is different from clamd and there is no
initscript support for clamd (the scanner daemon) which should be
controlled by the clamav-milter initscript.
Fifth: Freshclam (the updater) should be better integrated. It takes a
separate install and configuration (manual) step, and then it
complains that the version is already out-of-date!
Sixth: I really appreciate the work that the package maintainer has
done, but the integration and logic are much less than clear and clean.
Thanks for listening.

I sure pretty much anyone who uses clamav uses the one from RPMforge.
Its a lot tidier and actually works out the box, and has a service set
up for clamd
The fedora one is well known for its awfulness
