That's a good thing that your provider is providing virus scanning.
You may want to ask them what they use for virus scanning. If they
run clamav, then you don't need to bother running it on your home
system unless you're operating your own mail server.
It's good that you got clamd running, but in your situation I'm not
sure what value it is. Clamd in and of itself will not scan and
delete infected email. You need to have another program that feeds
messages to clamd, then checks the status and either passes the mail
on for delivery or deletes it. This is most often used on mail server
machines.
In the case where you collect your mail via POP or IMAP from an ISP
with your mail client (e.g., evolution), you probably want to run the
command line version of the scanner (clamscan) as a filter rule in
evolution on your incoming mail. I think this has been discussed on
the mailing list in the past, so check the archives for examples of
how to configure evolution to do this.
