You can confirm that by looking at the log. Just identify the message
you are concerned about and look for an entry like

/var/spool/exim/scan/1ZpBsO-000EWL-Pv/1ZpBsO-000EWL-Pv.eml: OK in the
clamav logs.

But your configuration looks ok (though I don't understand the
greylisting part in a data-acl, since greylisting triggers before data
is executed.

what about "clamdscan eicar.txt"? Does clamd work if exim is not
involved? I suppose Jeremys concern is that clamav might run without a
singature database (or a broken one) and that's my concern as well.
