Why should I? The documentation is inside the package:
/usr/share/doc/clamav-server-0.86.1/README

If you follow the steps and [possibly] understand the design
of the packages, yes, it works.

My dear Lieutenant Bubudiu, you should know better that fighting
like this is useless. That time is better spent on figuring out
how to configure the few steps.

Nah, it happens from time to time that users run into difficulties with
the design of the packages. That is because the packages are meant to be a
more powerful, more flexible and more extensible Clamav framework than
some other packages you might know. You can read more about it in the
thread on fedora-extras-list and the references to older discussions
or explanations.
