I usually find it a detriment: ClamAV is nowhere _near_ as good at distinguishing spam/phish emails as a most spam filters, and is much more prone to false-positives in particular. So a 'spam' match from ClamAV means 'examine this file manually' whereas a spam match from a spam filter goes in the spambucket where it can be safely be ignored/deleted unless there is a reason to check it.
