"av_scanner = clamd:..." is passing through a virus scanner, clamd in
this case. It has lots of other virus scanners, but no amavis option.
The only thing which comes close is "cmdline", but amavis can be set up
on a different host, so it's also not this.
"spamd_address = ..." passed the message to spamd - also not what I want.
amavisd will pass the message to clamdscan and spamassassin itself, and
offer some more goodies.

Exactly.
It gives lots of hits, but all the searches I checked suggest a wrong
approach (accepting mail before checking if it's virus, spam or ham).

It can be used, at least with Postfix.
With Exim, I'm scratching my head, but I'm not able to use amavisd-new
in a useful way.
