Having tested both - I came to the following conclusion:

If you have plenty memory to spare and MailScanner child start-up time 
is not an issue, then use Mail::ClamAV otherwise in all other cases use 
clamd as it uses considerably less RAM without any performance penalty 
as it uses threads as it seems that the signature database is shared 
amongst the scanner threads.

Cheers,
Steve.
