Remember clamAV provides NO protection as the real time agent in suse does not allow clam AV to offer any real-time protection. It only offers a clamscan 9 take the day off after you initiate it) and some integration of scanning of emails in some email clients - Kmail I think from memory is the only one.
See my other Post on this issue RE: ClamAV open suse 10.2 and possible SLES and previous versions of open suse or you can test your installation very easily using http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270581 So if the quest is can you pass on antivirus with knowing over or intra net - YES and nothing will stop you until a MS Windows real time agent finds it. There is a bug open as above, however in 2 occasions the bug guys have contradicted them selves and then resolved the bug as wontfix when his last reply is invalid. I have closed the bug as any further discussion on this issue is neither logical or constructive I have have more than my daily dose of suse.de today.
