It will work fine for all viruses that don't hide in new ways:

#The scan engine has been improved. The internal mail scanner now
#supports multipart/partial messages, and support for decoding
#non-standard mail files was greatly enhanced. clamav-milter by default
#uses libclamav and scans emails itself without the use of clamd.
#libclamav can now extract RFC2397 encoded data within HTML documents,
#block zip archives with modified information in local header, and scan
#HQX files. PE file structure rebuilding from compressed executables was
#improved too. 

So, if you are worried about newer threats, upgrade.
