Broken ClamAV module after 0.66 upgrade?

[Rick Cooper]

There is a couple of lines in the ClamAV.pm module that were to
be removed upon install that are not:

# removed on install
BEGIN {
 require "./config.pl";
 }
# end removed on install

the patch below will fix this by commenting them out. After
installing the patch:
