For myself, I use:
fetchmail > postfix > procmail(clamassassin > clamav)(spamassassin) > 
mail spool > qpopper > mail.app

fetchamail to collect mail from the pop accounts, which passes messages 
to postfix, which in turn passes them to procmail (which filters through 
clamav using the clamassassin script, and filters through spamassassin), 
which delivers them to my user mail spool in /var/mail, qpopper then 
sits between the mail spool and mail.app.

Also I have procmail rules which delete messages that clamav detects a 
virus in and high scoring spam, and I monitor my procmail log file with 
geektool, so I can watch out for false positives in a nice translucent 
panel on my desktop :)

You may well be able to feed messages to clamav from mail.app using a 
rule and an applescript, you might find the clamassassin script useful 
for that (it's a shell script I think), in terms of what you need to do.
