You can see package situation from several sites.
 http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/clamav.html
 http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=sgran@debian.org
 http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/maintainer.php?name=clamav

These tells me clamav is out of sync with upstream even in unstable but
volatile is almost as good as unstable in terms of upstream version.

Debian unstable 0.93.1.1 package is updated with a security patch thus
while Unstable   0.93.1.dfsg-1.1 while Volatile version seems slightly
old 0.93.1.dfsg-volatile1 .

BTS is good source of info:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=clamav
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490925

You may submit bug report on new upstream release and do the similar
thing as bug490925 to promote package updates. 

Cheers,
