Well, that HOWTO is for on-access scanning of the whole disk. Configurations 
like e-mail scanning are more common (as you're unlikely to get a virus on your 
Fedora system anyway, so it's more useful to scan just the stuff which goes 
through rather than expending CPU cycles on needlessly watching the entire 
system). I don't cover these configurations (as I don't run a server), other 
posts on this list have, though. (Just search the archives.)

It's hard to explain how to "configure ClamAV" without knowing what it's going 
to be used for. For manual scanning, you just install the package and run 
clamscan on the files. For e-mail scanning, you want a filtering plugin 
("milter" as sendmail calls them) for your particular MTA (server-side) or MUA 
(client-side), so you need to tell us what MTA or MUA you want to do filtering 
in. There are also filters for Samba (to watch reads/writes on Samba-shared 
file systems), and then there's Clamuko which uses Dazuko to watch the entire 
system (and you can of course set up paths for Clamuko to watch and not to 
watch, you don't have to watch all of /).
