In general terms, ClamAV® looks for malware and not spam.  There are some additional “unofficial” signature databases that can be subscribed to and work with the ClamAV® scan engine, so I suggest taking a look at Sanesecurity <http://sanesecurity.com> to see if they have what you need.

Steve runs things there and subscribes to this list so will probably have some more specific knowledge.
