I have clamd and exim on some of my systems.  However, clamd is not
called directly from exim.

I use Mailscaner (https://www.mailscanner.info/) - it works using two
exim queues so that one exim receives the mail and places it into a
"received" queue, Mailscanner does various things to the messages
including virus & spam scanning, then places it into the "scanned"
queue and triggers a delivery.
