I try to use packages for everything - a legacy of maintaning machines
for a whole department. That way I can trust the package management
system to know how to uninstall ...

Is the cmake from epel for CentOS7 recent enough to build clamav ?

If not, you could build a clamav rpm.
Perhaps start with the epel clamav.spec file, or maybe clamav has one since
they now ship Red Hat and Fedora binaries.
That way the cmake "install" happens inside rpmbuild, under your id
so root is only needed for the yum/dnf install.
