ClamAV goes to great lengths to keep virus databases compatible with 
older versions of the software, and there has been no EOL announcement 
for 0.98.z (which isn't *that* old).  Where do you see that 0.98.7 is 
not functional with the latest definitions?

As for an update, I am aware of the new version.  Unfortunately, ClamAV 
has not been keeping up with LLVM and the bundled copy predates 
Win64/SEH support, so either we wait for someone to write a patch for 
LLVM 3.7 compatibility, or I build a llvm3.5 package just for this. 
Otherwise, I'd have to disable llvm (and hence JIT support) on at least 
x86_64.
