I'm getting an error:

# chown qscand /var/clamav
chown: `qscand': invalid user

Do you have qmail-scanner installed?

Usually folks here yum install qmail-scanner pyzor dcc razor clamd

This gives you a very good defense on spam and viruses. The qmail-scanner program ties it all together with qmail.
