when you do the install from cpan, and it fails, do a "look Mail::ClamAV"
which should put you in the correct directory Mail-ClamAV-0.16.

Now do make clean && make and see what your output is. From the above it
appears it's not finding the basic ClamAV.pm file that should be in
.cpan/build/Mail-ClamAV-0.16/blib/lib/Mail. Since I cannot imagine how your
bundle wouldn't have that it would seem there must be some kind of
permissions problem or the error message is just plain wrong.
