Indeed, I still couldn't find the path of the quarantine folder.
I think adding this to the README, which is much more verbose than the 
man page, is the best solution.

Thanks for this info. ;)

I added this path to 8.a. of the README, so that it reads:
	a. Quarantine this file: This drops the selected file into the
	"quarantined" folder ~/.clamtk/viruses.

Best regards,
Andreas
