[Centos] new version of zlib to CenOS 3.3 ?

I wanted to upgrade my ClamAV but ./configure gave this error
checking for zlib installation... /usr
configure: error: The installed zlib version may contain a security bug. Please
upgrade to 1.2.2 or later: http://www.zlib.net. You can omit this check with
--disable-zlib-vcheck but DO NOT REPORT any stablility issues then!

but yum gave this message
# yum install zlib

zlib is installed and is the latest version.
No actions to take

is it safe to install ClamAV with the --disable-zlib-vcheck option ?
