For the previous version of ClamAV it looked like this:
Software version: 0.98
Package version: 0.98-2.el6 <-- Version 2 of the package as I found an
error in the "UserName" in the script. I use smmsp where the default
user is often clamav or just clam, depending on the distro. That
requires I rebuild the package.

Pardon my quick repost - I forgot to include this:
yum info installed "clam*" will show you the software version as well as
additional nice-to-know stuff from the package maintainer. It is also
worth the education to go to the SRPM distribution and look at the files
it contains.
The Fedora project for example, has the full ClamAV source in a source
RPM, here:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6Server/SRPMS/clamav-0.98.1-1.el6.src.rpm
You will need some RPM tools to pry it open, but here is how it is done:
[root@packager ~]# su - rpm_builder
[rpm_builder@packager ~]$ mkdir clam_src
[rpm_builder@packager ~]$ cd clam_src; wget
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6Server/SRPMS/clamav-0.98.1-1.el6.src.rpm
[rpm_builder@packager clam_src]$ rpm2cpio clamav-0.98.1-1.el6.src.rpm
|cpio -idv
Mind the wordwrap above. You su to a safe user, rpm_builder, for
example, create a directory, cd into it and wget the source RPM. You
then use rpm2cpio to burst the RPM into a stream of the constituent
parts which are in turn piped to cpio which creates files from that
stream. Among those files is the very interesting clamav.spec file. This
is a text file that reveals how the package was built. It is well worth
reading and understanding.
You will need to install the RPM package manager suite:
This will give you the package id for that suite.
[root@packager ~]# yum provides */rpm2cpio
Apologies if you know all this - others don't so it is worth sharing for
the larger audience.
