I use both and make reports each month. And each month ClamAV seems to
find a few more infected messages than F-prot does.

May 2008
F-Prot:
    727 W32/Netsky.P at mm
    362 HTML/IFrame
ClamAV:
    749 Worm.SomeFool.P::
    366 Exploit.HTML.IFrame::

April 2008
F-Prot:
    566 W32/Netsky.P at mm
    304 HTML/IFrame
ClamAV:
    579 Worm.SomeFool.P::
    308 Exploit.HTML.IFrame::

Only last month I saw the other way around for SomeFool.P/Netsky.P:
F-Prot:
    440 W32/Netsky.P at mm
    222 HTML/IFrame
ClamAV:
    439 Worm.SomeFool.P::
    227 Exploit.HTML.IFrame::

And besides detecting these ClamAV has a good trackrecord in detecting
phishings.
