Try downloading something containing the EICAR test file.

http://www.eicar.org/86-0-Intended-use.html

That page itself contains the EICAR string, so in principle it should trigger 
ClamAV, however strictly speaking the string should be the start of the "file", 
therefore you may find one of http://www.eicar.org/85-0-Download.html a better 
way of testing.
