The easiest and the best solution is to add clamd as an additional virus scanner. When F-Secure is sane both will check the message and is any of them finds a virus message is blocked. In cases when F-Secure does not produce an answer, only the clamd will check the message, which is still a very satisfactory option. Even though clamd is quite fast, in case you don't want it to be invoked for every message, add it to the @av_scanners_backup list (instead of the @av_scanners list), so it will be invoked only when F-Secure chokes, which will prevent mail from being tempfailed.
