with one clamd instance yes

on a smart setup you run two instances and one is just used for scoring 
in spamassassin (or in my case i edited the sa-clamav plugin to support 
multiple instances instead the ugly hardcoding) - both are scoring high 
and at the end the second clamd is also wired with the milter and jectes 
undocnditional while the PDF stuff combined with a well mainatined bayes 
has no problems to distinct bewteen junk and ham
