I did this same question in the amavis list and receive the follow answer:

"You can't just move clamav to a separate host without also moving
amavisd. The scanning request which amavisd sends to clamd includes
just filenames of files to be scanned. Their contents is not
transferred in a request, so (unless you have NFS mounted disks)
the specified files are not accessible from the other host.

So, file contents would need to be transferred to the clamd host,
one way or another. Probably the most natural would be to move
amavisd+clamd to a dedicated host, and if necessary, just let it
do virus scanning, and keep amavisd+SpamAssassin on the first host.
But this is getting unnecessarily complicated and inefficient.

Clamd also offers a form of request where, instead or a filename,
contents is transferred. This is not supported by amavisd, it doesn't
gain much, file contents needs to be transferred anyhow, so letting
SMTP protocol do it is just as good."



I understood the steps which send me in the link, but second explanation
above, the content of message wouldn´t checked.
