As usual, it depends on what the bottleneck is with your hardware.

You can tune the thread settings to the number of CPUs and the amount of
concurrent traffic you get.

The most likely bottleneck will be I/O. If you've got lots of spare
memory you could but the clam TMPDIR on a RAM disk. Or you could improve
things by having it on a dedicated disk, and tune the filesystem for
fast throughput (no atime, no journalling).

To be honest, ClamAV is unlikely to be a problem unless you are handling
millions of messages a day. How many are you doing?
