Well any sane install will put the clam utils in /usr somewhere, so
you can limit your search to there.

find /usr -name "*clam*" -perm /u+x -print

Will find all files with clam somewhere in their name and having the
eXecute bit set for the user (owner) of the file.
There are of course other ways to do that.
If you get no joy there, try /opt for the path.

Well that is one the whole mostly true. However, I run clamd as part
of the amavisd suite to scan email before it reaches the windows
machines inside the network.
