Clamav seems quiet now and there isn't anything important on the list,
right? So in that case I might help out if the other clamav related
package are good to go.
BUT before you go and adopt it, please make sure that it is really worth
it. c-icap has a clamav plugin but uses the ICAP protocol (whatever that
is) so it might not be a replacement for havp.
Dansguardian on the other hand seems to do the same thing as havp (on
the first look).
The upstream of both project looks kind of dead. Last release in 2010
for havp vs an alpha release in 2012 for dansguardian.
