The aforementioned thread on fedora-extras-list gives an answer to
that. In particular, the thread refreshes why a single clamd is considered
wrong. The clamav packages in Fedora Extras build a much more mighty and
flexible framework for clamav than a single package could ever be. A
single package, which "installs and works out-of-the-box" would be a dead
end for the other packages which will be added on top of the clamav base
packages. What appears as if it's an unnecessary list of manual
configuration steps can be solved with additional packages,
e.g. amavis-new.
