spamassassin is great, and you will need to make sure you know how to use a spam filter.
clamav is better, and I have used it as a sendmail milter and within procmail. The milter works better.
Clamav and spamassassin have different goals. There is some overlap, but it doesn't make sense to say that one is *better* than the other.

Poc,
Let me revise what I have said.
spamassassin is great, but is not a total solution to block spam; I have not found anything better to block spam.
clamav is also great, and is nearly a total solution to filter e-mails that are infested with virus.
spam filtering is a different problem and ends up being a bigger problem than virus filtering because the solution is not as complete.
