I never announced this, because I was going to ask Dag is he minds me doing
it, but if you have a S.L. 3.0.3 release, you're yum.conf actually has a
commented out section for a local mirror of Dag's enterprise rpm's.

I have it mirrored at ftp.scientificlinux.org because sometimes apt.sw.be is a
little slow.  But then for some people, ftp.scientificlinux.org, might be a
little slow if you are halfway across the world.

So, you can ftp directly and get files from
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dag/redhat/el3/en/i386/dag/RPMS/
  (there is a x86_64 directory too)

Or edit your yum.conf and add the following

[dag]
name=DAG rpms
baseurl=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dag/redhat/el3/en/i386/dag/

Or, if you are using S.L. 3.0.3 just do the following

   yum -c /etc/yum.conf.dag list "clam*"

and then

   yum -c /etc/yum.conf.dag install "clam*"

Hope this helps.
Troy
p.s. Oh yeah, doing the yum thing might take a little bit the first time, just
because there are so many headers ... somewhere around 1500 - 2000 headers.
