Actually, that's exactly the point, and sounds about right.

Try scanning something with a virus, using clamdscan, and ensure that it
finds it.

yup, just tested it with the eicar test file. amazing. i'm blown away. all this time i thought i was getting a bruising on resource usage, and with the addition of a single 'd' into my qmail-scanner-queue.pl, instead of my two servers running at a 14 load average constantly, they're running at like .45.


this should perhaps be better documented. there's only two mentions of clamdscan in the docs, under 'testing' - nothing under 'configuration', and there's no details about actually using one or the other.
