Interestingly, clamav and amavis keep a quarantine folder with all
viruses caught, running your command line i get : 

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 21694
Scanned directories: 7
Scanned files: 2811
Infected files: 459
Data scanned: 134.02 MB

So it overlooked about 2300 of them ...

Now do, clamdscan -r and you get : 

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 2722
Time: 109.975 sec (1 m 49 s)
