That text comes with the Vexira entry:

  ['CentralCommand Vexira (new) vascan',
    ['vascan','/usr/lib/Vexira/vascan'],
    "-a s --timeout=60 --temp=$TEMPBASE -y $QUARANTINEDIR ".
    "--log=/var/log/vascan.log {}",
[...]

...and only applies to this specific setting where the $QUARANTINEDIR
is (re-)used in a command-line option to vascan.  Configure the -y option
of the vascan program to point to anywhere you like, it need not
be the $QUARANTINEDIR.

As far as amavisd is concerned, quarantiing need not be enabled,
regardless of which types of checks are in use.
