DISCLAIMER: The CMake system is completely new to me so I don't know
what the "correct" way to do things like this might be, but if you
look at around line 1051 in CMakeLists.txt you'll see this:

8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
if(NOT ENABLE_LIBCLAMAV_ONLY)
     add_subdirectory( common )

     add_subdirectory( libfreshclam )

     if(ENABLE_APP)
         # Build targets for primary applications.
         add_subdirectory( clamconf )

         add_subdirectory( clamd )

         add_subdirectory( clamdscan )

         if(C_LINUX AND ENABLE_CLAMONACC)
             add_subdirectory( clamonacc )
         endif()

         if(ENABLE_MILTER)
             add_subdirectory( clamav-milter )
         endif()

         add_subdirectory( clamscan )

         add_subdirectory( sigtool )

         add_subdirectory( clambc )

         add_subdirectory( clamsubmit )

         add_subdirectory( freshclam )

         add_subdirectory( clamdtop )

         if(WIN32)
             add_subdirectory( win32/conf_examples )
         else()
             add_subdirectory( etc )
         endif()
     endif()
endif()
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------

My guess from that (because of the part about ENABLE_MILTER) is that
if you simply edit this file to prevent creation of the subdirectories
for the relevant binaries you'll at least prevent them from being
built.  Whether the result will be what you want remains to be seen...
