This is the funny thing, Fedora tots itself as "bleeding edge"
yet only do so called security backports to stuff, like the ol true RH 
used to, which was cool because RH never promoted itself as bleeding 
edge..

it seems its bleeding edge only when it suites them

Thats said, there is nothing stopping you from removing the 5 different 
packageds required to use clamav with Fedora and install once from source 
code with a simple
./configure && make && make install

you'be more bleeding edge current then fedora, and no need to worry about 
missing deps either :)
