Can you tell me if clamd / clamdscan will scan email attachments as
well as the email file.

Clamdscan will scan whatever you pass as an argument. However, with
email it is common practice to have additional software like Amavis
(https://gitlab.com/amavis/amavis) that splits mail into its MIME parts,
including attachments, and then call ClamAV to check the segments.

I can heartily recommend using Amavis plus ClamAV instead of invoking
clamdscan some custom fashion. Every popular Linux distribution should
have Amavis pre-packaged.
