We only make packages at rpmforge. I suggest you ask such questions on the 
mailinglists or the forum of HAVP:
http://havp.hege.li/forum/
https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=132123

But according to the documentation: apparently it uses a separate virus 
scanner like clamav or f-prot, so it catches any virus which clamav or f-prot 
catches i guess. You can probably get more information at the site of the 
virus scanner.
