I think this is a temporary file (not really a file - a socket id for 
inter-program communication perhaps).

For clamav alone I have: rpm -qa|grep clam|sort
clamav-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-data-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-lib-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-update-0.88.1-1.fc5

Did you write this one down correctly ? It seems the current version is 
0.88.1-1.fc5 on my machine. What repos do you have enabled ?
I don't think you need the -devel rpm

try to get clamscan going first:
# yum install clamav
# edit /etc/freshclam as needed
# freshclam --verbose
# clamscan --verbose --log=clamscan.20060417.txt --recursive --infected 
/home/

Are you looking at some howto info for amavisd ?  try:
