HI Michael, Ged,
clamav-milter is indeed a part of the clamav project. As Ged notes, it hasn't changed in many years - at least not since I started here over 4 years ago.
Unfortunately, the clamav-milter daemon is not included with the 0.104 DEB and RPM packages we provide on clamav.net/downloads. I would like to include it in the future.
Ged's link to use the Fedora project's milter RPM sounds like a good option to me. And as he notes, since it is a standalone program and communicates with ClamD over a socket interface that also hasn't changed in many years - it should work just fine.
Cheers,
Micah

I don't know if there is such a thing in existence. You don't say for
what system/architecture you want this RPM to have been built and that
is very important. An RPM usually needs to be built for one specific
architecture (i386, AMD64, ARM7,... although if it doesn't contain any
binaries that might not be true).
I'm still a bit woolly on the status of clamav-milter. At one time it
seemed to be just another part of the ClamAV distribution but later on
I saw things in the docs which made it seem to be a third-party tool.
In any event I don't think much has been changing in clamav-milter so
I'd expect if you find an RPM of a supported version such as here
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/clamav then it should work with recent versions of ClamAV. If they agree on
an interface they should work together OK, and of course if they don't
you will soon know about it.
At least in this case I'm sure that the binaries don't know anything
about the version numbers of the other binaries that they're talking
to, although I couldn't swear to that for everything ClamAV related.
I'm sure for the milter interface because I wrote my own milter which
replaces clamav-milter. It just sends commands and data as per the
clamd man page and it gets back the replies you'd get if you did the
same queries via 'telnet' to the TCP port. I patched clamd to send
some version information, both for logging and to include in headers
which my milters add to the messages, but that's just for my records.
Perhaps you could experiment and let us know what you find. I don't
myself use clamav-milter any more but I have nothing against it; when
I was using it, AFAICR, it gave me no trouble.
