That is precisely the problem, and the thing upstream is trying to
address (perhaps a little noisily, I'm happy to admit).  I am unwilling
to deviate from upstream on this issue, just to be blunt.  Clamav and
the virus world is just too fast moving of a target to want to encourage 
running a several year old version.  There are newer versions made
trivially available in volatile, although sometimes it takes a few days
to appear there.
