I know this is ill advised, but when I first installed F16 I did the unthinkable and made
my USER account the ROOT account, so I don't see how that's

You've successfully weirded your system. Doing what you did is like walking around
with a loaded gun in your hand, with the safety off, and your finger on the trigger.
Don't know why you can't delete those files if your user is truly root.
You could always boot a Fedora DVD and go into "rescue" mode and delete files
from there.
If I were in your shoes I would forget about clamav and just backup all data and install
F17 from scratch. And when you install clamav, I'd do it from the Fedora repos and
not download and compile from source like I think you were doing.
