clamscan is slow
slow and uses much of RAM, I have disabled it by unsetting
@av_scanners_backup
in my local config file.

clamdscan is the client for clamd and is fast, that would be why he
is using it.
at least in debian, amavis contacts clamd directly, not by using
clamdscan:
['ClamAV-clamd',
\&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl"],
qr/\bOK$/m, qr/\bFOUND$/m,
qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/m ],
in debian, you must add clamav to amavis group, so clamd is able to
read mails unpacked by amavis.
perhaps redhat-based systems have similar requirement.
Fedora 38 ships Amavis 2.13.0 which switched to clamdscan in Amavis
upstream.
