I't really not hard to install and well worth it if you consider the 
amount of headaches and wasted time it prevents.  It should be a matter

and frequently suggest it to your admin.

If clamav is being used upstream, then you should be able to see it in 
your mail headers.  A command-option-u will reveal all.
