 The default definition for clamav in virus.scanners.conf is

clamav          /opt/MailScanner/lib/clamav-wrapper     /usr/local

Which I assume will invoke clamscan.  If I want to invoke clamd, would 
it be as simple as just modifying clamav-wrapper to use clamdscan?


and would it be faster/better to see about using the clamavmodule 
instead?

    

 Use clamavmodule. It's faster and has less overhead than any solution 
involving clamd. That's why I did it the way I did.

The only reason you'd want to be running clamd in the first place is to
use it to power clamav-milter in order to prescan for viruses at the MTA
level to reduce the load on MailScanner from having to scan virus-laden
e-mails for spam.
