One of the problems with using packages is that they tend to be out of
date.  For something like ClamAV I prefer to install from source.

ExcludePath .*\.sys$

There are many sources of information and tutorials about regular
expressions available on the Web.  There are unfortunately a few
different kinds of regular expressions.  Stick to the POSIX kind
and you should be OK.  The regexes used in signatures may be of a
different (and simplified) kind from POSIX expressions, don't get
confused if you come across them in the signature documentation.
POSIX expressions work there too, but possibly less efficiently.

Don't forget to restart the clamd daemon after changing clamd.conf
(or whatever your package calls the configuration file).
