This may not directly answer your question because I have never tried
integrating Sendmail + ClamAV manually.   I usually use MailScanner
www.mailscanner.info/.   Not sure if it will suit your purpose.

clamav is definitely included in either base or extras repository. 
With plain FC4, you can do

# yum install clamav

Not sure whether MailScanner is in those repositories, but downloading
and compiling the source is not that difficult.
