What I do in that case is ... log into the server using winscp and go to those directories and delete the infected e-mail or files.
The scan should give you the location of the infected files.

I get files like this, including a JPG file (go figure) and when I look at the iBay with my Windows box and do a virus scan using AVG (Free) it says there is nothing wrong with it.
In my case deleting the file is not a option, but I can not also confirm the positive detection by clam.

Your right ... I have had a few so called infected files but when checked with a diff scanner all was ok but most of the time the file was infected. I run all my mail through IMAP ... using it this way the virus scanner on the comp doesn't pick up the virus unless you try and open the mail but clamv picked up the virus through the nightly scan. This of course doesn't work if you get your mail and open it right away. As for files the virus scanner on your comp should catch them well before you transfer the files to your server as long as you keep up your definition files.
Just be aware ... jpeg files can carry viruses.
I use AVG but not the free one ... with the free one the virus def's only get updated once a week mainly ... on my payed one I sometimes get e-mails informing me of updates 3 times a day ... like today.
