I use Sendmail for my MTA.

I have ClamAV running, just checking files.  The documentation which
comes with it says that it shouldn't be run to check email.  Is this
real?

So, I went and got Amavis-ng ... but it wouldn't set up properly to
scan emails using the data files from ClamAV.  I followed the
instructions provided in the docs, but certain files weren't put
into the "proper" place and "amavisd" didn't even exist.  I'm very
frustrated right now.
