Last time I looked at the .spec file the signatures were marked
 	%config(noreplace)
Does that avoid the yum issues ?

I can see the sense in running
 	freshclam --datadir=...
(or cvdupdate) in the
%prep or %build section of clamav.spec
rather than in the %post.

Or even have two sub-packages clamav-db-large and clamav-db-small
both providing clamav-db ? -large has the files and -small has the %post 
script.
