There is no GUI, just run clamscan from a terminal (Main Menu > System Tools > Terminal).

One tip about finding programs' executables: if you know the package, just run rpm -ql package | grep bin this will find all the executables in a bin directory.

clamd is the daemon exec, (/usr/local/sbin/clamd)

To figure out which program that you will run type :
which freshclam

If this returns nothing (because the program is not in your path) try
locate freshclam

but this will return any file with "freshclam" in it

[moronbros]

yeah but it's better to use find instead of locate. We don't know if the filesystem is indexed.

find / -name freshclam

that will search your entire filesystem. try using some other path to search like /bin or /usr/bin
