Did you read through the documentation the packages ship with? The

The clamav-update package ships with a cron job, running every 3 hours.
As explained in the /etc/sysconfig/freshclam file you have to remove or

Without seeing your sendmail.mc configuration regarding the
clamav-milter setup it is hard to say what is going wrong.
