Yes, it seems the ClamXav client for Macs is a virus checker, not a fixer.
http://www.clamxav.com/

I ran it and it did successfully identify and quarantine several offending
files (all were Word docs infected with the "w97m.thus.gen" macro virus).

Sophos allows a 30 day trial of the client software and it disinfected the
files successfuly.
