Of course you can build ClamAV from source; unfortunately the online
docs are being revamped at the moment so they're in a state of, er,
flux right now and the proper link gives me a 404:

https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Steps/Steps-Redhat-CentOS.html

so this one will have to do for now:

https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Installing-from-source-Unix-old.html

It isn't at all difficult to build ClamAV from source.  To avoid any
confusion you would probably want to purge all trace of the packaged
version first.
