Search your system for "ClamAV.pm" with a command like "locate 
ClamAV.pm" and delete it.

You will be far better off using clamd, which is available from 
rpmforge, this is *way* faster than using the clamav setting, as that 
runs the command-line scanner for each batch of messages. Using clamd 
avoids all the startup time associated with ClamAV.

If you have installed ClamAV under /usr/local, then search your 
/usr/local directories for any mention of files or directories 
containing "clam" in their name, and delete them. Something like "find 
/usr/local -name '*[Cc]lam*' -print" should find them for you.

Then you can install clamd and its dependencies from rpmforge and use 
that instead.
