I use both with postfix (also SPF-milter).

That depends on policy.  But I run clamav-milter first.  And SPF  
before that.  I also do my DNSbl blocking up front (instead of through  
SA).  That is, I try to run the light-weight [fm]ilters first and run  
a "block early, block often" policy.  But sites' needs will vary.  If  
you have lots of different users who don't want  so many things  
rejected at SMTP time, you shouldn't follow my practice.

There's nothing that I can think of from the last time I used  
sendmail.  It really is straight forward.  If you want to have some  
policies that depend on any kind of combining the results of these  
(and other milter-like processes) you may wish to consider using  
mimedefang as your only milter and than have mimedefang call SA and  
clamav.  But for most straight-forward policies running them in  
sequence makes the most sense, with a preference for running the  
lighter weight ones earlier.
