On our mailserver, we run clamdscan, since mail arrives frequently (!).

On a mail server most people would use a milter, e.g. clamav-milter,
which is part of the ClamAV package.
however, clamav-milter uses clamd so it needs clamd running just as
clamdscan. amavis does the same.
The use of milters offers many benefits. It enables a mail server to
inspect a message during the SMTP conversation, allowing the server
(for example) to reject unwanted mail at the earliest possible time,
before accepting the message. This can avoid wasting resources, and
leaks of information to the sender such as the fact that a recipient
address actually exists and accepts mail (valuable information to the
typical spammer, because it is saleable).
