If you want to use the EPEL repository (what I can recommend), then 
contact the maintainers of the packages in question if so far they have 
not branched their packages for EL7. EPEL 7 is still in beta stage.

There is no requirement from Postfix side to use amavisd-new. Postfix 
can perfectly run without amavisd-new. The question is: what is your 
goal when considering the use of amavisd-new? If you just want to hook 
in ClamAV, then clamav-milter is a more lightweight approach.

Running Postfix on CentOS 7 means it is a much more current version than 
the ancient from CentOS 6, so that you can make use of postscreen[1]. 
You should read about it and consider to make use of it.
