I was just going to suggest that...

1.3?  ClamAV's current release is 0.70.  That being said, if you're
running clamd and scanning via clamav-milter, yes.  Any incoming stuff
is run through clamAV if you're using that.  As for RPMs, I dunno.  I
don't use them myself as they typically lag behind the releases too
much.  I'm a tarball-build-install kind of guy.

Remember that an "mbox" is one file.  clamscan doesn't pull it apart,
purge the infection and put it back together--it deletes the _file_
(which happens to be "mbox").  For the "--remove" to only delete the
infected message, you need to be scanning a MailDir-style mail account.

Note that ClamAV 0.70 no longer has clamscan.  It has clamdscan, which
is a client for clamd.  It doesn't support the "--mbox" option.  You
must have "ScanMail" option set in clamd.conf for that to work.
