I'm not a lawyer. Nor do I play one on TV. But I am the community manager, and I have a lawyer that I ask my questions to, so if I really need to go to him.
That being said. There are a ton of commercial applications that use Clam. You'd frankly be surprised. I still am. It depends on how you link to clamav. You can use clamav and parse results, things like that. Where it gets tricky is if you modify code or do internal links to the code. But you can ship clamav packaged with something else, if you do it right. That is possible, yes.

I am also noticing bunch of commercial security tools for web hosting servers, which are directly or indirectly using ClamAV libs/binaries so far. I have been wondering same because it shouldn't be use that based on the docs!

However I find there is one anti-virus app link libclamav directly and is published on Mac app store.
