Have you (as root) run 'updatedb'?

What's the (top half) output of 'rpm -qi clamav'?

Also, list your permissions on aliases.db -

ls -l /etc/aliases.db
-rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 Mar 20 11:54 /etc/aliases.db

And PLEASE, change the subject line to something more descriptive of your 
problem.  You may need to be more specific than my attempt.
