You need to set date.timezone in php.ini. If it's not in there, add it. 
As for the APC settings, if you don't have apc.ini at all then you have 
not got the php-pecl-apc RPM installed (or whatever close variant of it 
is used in CentOS naming schemes). In that file, most of those should be 
present. Again, if they're not then add them.

Whether it's clam or clamav varies depending on whose build of ClamAV 
you download. Some use one, some use the other. If you use a different 
repo from me, then it's quite possible it will be different. You 
basically need to ensure the "freshclam" command works successfully 
without any warnings about permissions or logs, and that if you do 
"clamdscan /var/zendto" then it should actually scan all the 
subdirectories. And yes, that is "clamdscan" and not "clamscan" which is 
a rather different thing (clamdscan uses clamd to do it, so is a perfect 
way of checking that clamd can reach all the subdirectories properly).
