I have made a LiveCD like the one you are talking about for the shop I
work in. It isn't small, meant to be multi-purpose, but it gets the job
done. The virus defs are out of date (from early December), but it works
just as well. If you like it, I will start working on a CD for strictly
ClamAV, time is just a bugger to get right now.

Thanks, Brandon.

PS: If you want to start X on it (fluxbox), you need to sudo apt-get
install xserver-xorg, then startx.
