Your selinux.sh is an abysmal fail. It's so discouraging to see this type of nonsense still going on in 2013. There is NO REASON to disable selinux enforcement. You are also advocating the use of CPAN in your clamav.sh to install File-Scan-ClamAV from source. No, please, just... no. The use of CPAN, either directly via perl -MCPAN -e shell or the method you use to retrieve the tarball from the cpan archive system and then building it yourself, is _strongly_ discouraged on a package managed system. The module you are looking for is already prepackaged by rpmforge as perl-File-Scan-ClamAV and is available for both CentOS-5 and -6. I see you are also installing phymyadmin using a source kit install instead of using the version that is packaged by EPEL which doesn't make any sense to me considering your repositories.sh installs epel (although without priorities and you set it to enabled). Since you also install remi (why?) there may be conflicts between the two (unconfirmed, I coulnd't be paid enough to use remi on any box I care about). You blindly change the host's timezone to UTC? With no interaction from the user whether he/she wants this or not? (No, not everyone wants their boxes in UTC.) There may be other issues, but these are the ones that jumped out at me from a _very_ cursory review. I must admit, I was a little disappointed with things as they stand. CentOS is a packaged distribution and it's best to stay with components that are in package format instead of resorting to raw tarball installs. If such issues could possibkly be resolved I feel these scripts would be very beneficial to many users.
