Yep, I you run clamscan on the source package you get something like this:

$ clamscan clamav-0.88.3.tar.gz
clamav-0.88.3.tar.gz: ClamAV-Test-File FOUND

- ----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 63025
Engine version: 0.88.3
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 8.36 MB

Which is normal.  If you get something else then watch out.
