Look in the Makefile for distclean. You'll see it removes some files
created by configure, and some man pages. Right above that, the 'clean'
target is what actually deletes the object files.
What happened was configure looked in your config.cache and saw that it
looked for ClamAV last time, didn't find it, so didn't bother looking
again. Whenever i recompile something like that, i first look at the top
of config.status to see what configure options i used to compile last
time, the do a 'rm config.*'. In this case, the distclean did the same
thing. Or to be extra safe, you could just delete the entire dir and
untar the source again.
