I've looked into the logs and they say /var/lib/clamav, and the
downloaded files are also located there. Sanesecurity also shows up in
the logs, so I guess it is really installed.
clamd is set up just normally with the Ubuntu package, nothing unusual.
Exim checks that daemon for incoming mail and rejects a message every
now and then as a result. So Exim and clamav are connected. It's just
that Sanesecurity doesn't seem to catch anything.

This is a multi-user server and I can't put every single message I get

Thunderbird has a Junk toolbar button it doesn't report back to the
server. So that's not usable.
Switching from Exim to Postfix with all the configuration that hangs
at it is way too much work. It's probably easier to switch from
Linux+Exim to Windows with a complete mail solution that includes a
working spam filter out of the box.
I have the impression that the often-recommended sanesecurity data
which is included in clamav-unofficial-sigs doesn't help at all. I
can't see any difference between before and after its installation.
It sounds like you may not have the Sanesecurity databases in the right
spot. They should be catching a fair amount of junk.
Check your clamd install by grepping the logfiles to see where clamd is
reading the databases from.
$ grep 'Reading databases' maillog
Mar 24 14:56:28 mailserver clamd[7431]: Reading databases from
/usr/local/share/clamav
Then make sure your Sanesecurity databases are being put in that directory.
If that doesn't work, you may need to give us more detail on exactly how
you are calling Clam so we can figure out exactly what is going wrong.
