The main (only valid?) purpose of clamav is for mail server computers

I've found it useful for removing unwanted and/or broken applications

Eh?
as well as viruses and spam.
Spam is best handled by a dedicated spam filter. It also has the
fortuitous side-effect of catching all viruses. (At least, I've never
seen false ham with a virus attached.)
I had some
erratic behaviour in my computer a while back, and clamav helped
resolve it. I think it's a mistake to assume that if a computer is
Linux that it's invincible.
I don't think I said that. Linux just isn't vulnerable to the kind of
malware that gets sent around by black hats who assume that everyone
runs Windows and most people use Outlook.
