In the contib/init/RedHat directory of your ClamAV source, there is an 
init file named clamd. Copy it to /etc/init.d. then symlink it into 
/etc/rc.d/rc3 (rc5 if you start up in graphical mode) as S(some number 
lower than Sendmail's)clamd - ie: S75clamd

I agree that it should be started before either Sendmail or MIMEDefang, 
though I can not tell you why. Must be BOFH intuition.
