At first, ClamAV team don't provide ClamAV package for FreeBSD. It is
provided by FreeBSD project as one of FreeBSD ports/packages
collections. And I'm current maintainer of ClamAV port/package.

Next, currently only release version of ClavAV port/package is
provided. So if you use official FreeBSD ports/packages, you can't use
release candidate of ClamAV.

And at last, though there isn't release candidate of ClamAV in
official FreeBSD ports/packages, I have ported 0.104.0.rc2 and
committed it to my working repostory on GitHub.

So if you don't mind building package by yourself, You can test latest
release candidate of ClamAV on FreeBSD by checking out ports tree,
building packages by yourself and installing it to your systems.

Please keep in mind thet above ports tree is private working branch.
That is, it will be updated to next release candidate if it is
released. It will be updated to 0.104.0 release when it is release.
And it will be removed from the repository after official FreeBSD
ClamAV port/package is updated to 0.104.0 release.
