I do not know if FileScan is better than CLAMD but since i have CLAMD updating regualrly i decided to disable FileScan in the meantime and let CLAMD do it's job.
I don't know if anyone's actually tested it, but File::Scan is generally assumed to be the fastest virus scanner available if you're already in Perl. Calling a daemonized scanner like Clamd really cuts down on the startup costs, though.
Clamd, however, has a much more thorough database than File::Scan. FS focuses on the most common viruses, which makes it a very good first line of defense, while ClamAV is intended to be a complete antivirus program.
If I had to choose between them, I'd make the same choice you did and stick with Clamd.
