Why are you crying?
Did you install clamav correctly? Did you update the virus definitions database?
If you did so, then post here the problem you're facing.

You can download ClamAV virus database from the web site; http://www.clamav.net/ and then place it in /var/lib/clamav/daily.inc.
You can find howtos and whytos there also.
