I'd second that but add:

Set up the clamav user as described in the documentation at

  http://www.clamav.net/doc/0.67/clamdoc.pdf

Get the latest version from clamav cvs, or here:

  http://www.clamav.net/snapshot/clamav-devel-latest.tar.gz

Unpack it, change to the appropriate directory, and type away...

  aclocal
  ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
  make
  make install

Then add the appropriate bit in MailScanner.conf (see the MailScanner FAQ if
you're not sure
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/29.html) and restart
MailScanner.

I needed to do the aclocal bit before running ./configure, you might not
need to.

Cheers,

Phil
