for integrating the ClamAv you would use the clamd daemon (But I believe mimedefang can use the clamscan too )

First, install the ClamAV software. use --enable-milter --with-user=defang for configure.

you run the freshclam daemon (it works out-of-the-boxs perfectly according to the docs /docs/html/ )

I ran the tests with clamscan and also attempted to mail them. the clam milter caught them fine
One note about my experience. I was a bit confused about the milter sockets and the clamd socket.
when you configure your sockets, be sure that the clamd and the clamav-milter are not the same; I did this and it took me a while to
figure out what was wrong.
e.g .
1: for communication between clamd and clamav-milter In clamav.conf I use: LocalSocket /var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock
2:for communication between clamav-milter and sendmail
in my sendmail.mc, I use
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:2m;R:2m')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/spool/CLAMav/clmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:1m;R:1m')dnl
