SpamAssassin is a Perl module, with some stand-alone programs to scan an email. ClamAV is a stand-alone program (or a Perl module) that scans files, also. MailScanner works with the MTA (Exim, Postfix, or Sendmail) to provide a coherent way to apply processes such as SpamAssassin and ClamAV to mail messages and use their output to mark the messages. MailScanner is well-documented in the config file, and you'll also need to read a specific tutorial for setting up your particular MTA to use it. It's not difficult.
