Just a few quick observations:
Funny. The differerent design of the Fedora clamav packages has been a topic on various lists long ago. Actually, there's some rationale behind the complexity of the Fedora clamav packages: packager's decision based on security and versatility beyond basic clamav usage. The packages include %doc files. You can't avoid reading them. The packages are not compatible with Dag's packages. They have never been compatible with Dag's. This is no secret. They do work, albeit differently than Dag's.
Unfortunately, the clamav users within the Fedora community have not cared enough about clamav in Fedora as would be necessary to either a) reach a consensus on how to package them, b) work with the original Fedora packager on enhancing them with a more convenient setup procedure, or c) do sufficient lobbying in order to convince Fedora Project leadership that something is "wrong" with Fedora's clamav packages and may need decision-finding on a higher level.
Incidentally, I use clamav in production on fedora with sendmail. No issues. Just had to make the socket paths in the config files match, and voila.
