That depends on whether you want to callout to clamav directly or via amavisd, 
which will then call SA amd clamav if needed.  But yes, if you are using 
sendmail as the MTA, it would be a good idea to enable milter so you can change 
your mind and still have it work.

If you use amavisd, viral and spammy messages get placed in /var/quarantine (or 
some such path).
