You are free to tell me what to do only _after_ you come up with a reasonable explanation as to why clamav is different from all other daemons out there and so it requires a different packaging philosophy. Until then, shut up.
Comments like this one and others do not help get a fix. They just stir emotional hot-buttons that make sure that fixes don't happen. Yes clamav in EPEL/Fedora is not packaged the way that other repositories do it. It causes conflicts and other issues and does not seem to be what people expect out of a system service. However, every thread that has started like this one has has just made the package more stuck in the way it is.
So while we work out human issues on our part (which will take as long as any EU debate..) how can we get your system working again. My first suggestion would be to back out the clamav from EPEL and also figure out what packages you are wanting from each repository.. and why. Second put in yum-priorities to put each repository at a level... its not a great fix.. having 'local' repos is a better fix but that is outside the scope of this email.
