It doesn't matter which you install first.  To use Clam in
your filter, do one of these things:

1) Add this line to your filter:

$Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'} = '/usr/local/bin/clamscan';  # Or whatever...

That will use clamscan on every incoming e-mail.

2) For better performance, you should use clamd.  Have it run as the
"defang" user and use the socket /var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock.  Then
add these lines in your filter:

$Features{'Virus:CLAMD'} = '/usr/local/sbin/clamd';
$ClamdSock = '/var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock';

Note that the path you supply for Virus:CLAMD isn't really used
for anything; Perl just needs a "true" value to turn on clamd support.
