clamav is maintained somewhat differently and updated through the -updates
repository (which is where you got 0.100.2). While 0.101 itself worked fine,
the share library headers were broken, so nothing that uses libclamav would
work with it. That's fixed in 0.101.1, but there is also a library transition
for a new so name as well as source patching required for some of the
libclamav using packages.
In short, we'll get it to you, but not through backports, although it may be a
bit. The good news is that there are no unfixed security issues in 0.100.2
that were addressed in the 0.101 series, so the functional effects are minor.
