Yes.  It notifies you of the virii's presence and identifies it's location.
It leaves you the option to remove it yourself; this protects some email
programs by allowing a person to refine the procedure of removal without
resorting to a brute-force extraction which clamav is capable of.  Clamav's
behavior can be modified according to user's/system administrators needs.

Within Linux, one has access to modify the settings of the .conf files which
are utilized by different components of clamav (freshclam and clamd).
