I made some progress on my own getmail install a few days ago and wrote
about it on this list:

I hope it answers some of your questions.

It would be nice to know what example you are using. Or at least post
your getmailrc (don't forget to remove the password though).

No, you need two different files and then run something like:

getmail -r ~/.getmail/getmailrc.isp1

[filter]
type = Filter_classifier
path = /usr/bin/clamdscan
arguments = ("--stdout", "--no-summary", "-")
exitcodes_drop = (1, )

Works for me. I have ClamAV running as a daemon, though.
