Download the independent rpm src file in http://packages.sw.be/clamav/

Eg. clamav-0.96.2-2.rf.src.rpm

Uninstall the old version.

Change to root and install as normally done for an RPM

 rpm -ivh clamav-0.96.2-2.rf.src.rpm

Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ and issue the command

rpmbuild -ba --clean clamav.spec
