Avcheck currently have no support for this antivirus software.  You're
the first who said about it here.

Avcheck can be made to work with any virusscanner that:

 o runs as a daemon and listens for local virus check requests
 o have known (documented) protocol between a daemon and a client
 o able to handle (decode) MIME mail message structure

I looked into the site you mentioned above but I dislike to register
just to look what features them offers.  If you can answer positively
for the above 3 points then I can implement CSAV support in avcheck.

There is no such HOWTO exists.

No way currently -- avcheck in it's current state is not able to talk
with CSAV.
