With Qmail I don't know...

But you can use clamd through the Milter API. But I don't thing Qmail
supports that API.

But good ways to use clamd is:
Sendmail -> clamav-milter -> clamd
Sendmail -> smtp-vilter -> clamd

Where clamav-milter and smtp-vilter use the Milter API with sendmail over
unix or ipv4 sockets. With this approach the scanning can if needed take
place on another server as well.

When the mail is ripped up in pieces and unpacked there is not much extra
load to check more things.  The smtp-vilter connector can for example with
sendmail use Symantec SavSE, ClamAV:s clamd and Spam Assassin spamd. At
the same time....
