Seen this a trillion times in upgrades, its not related to Fedora, its RHES,
suse, slackware and probably all others.
It will be a perl version conflict problem.

its ugly but run it all manually, can you paste the output where perl bails?

I got it working!

I removed ClamAV rc0.99 totally including the libclamav files.  I then
installed the latest release 0.88.6.  Once I had that installed I went back
and tried to reinstall Mail::ClamAV.  This time it worked.

I have now enabled clamavmodule in MailScanner.conf and am back to
normal...well, nearly.  For some reason update_virus_scanners still thinks
there is a generic virus scanner installed but I can live with that!
