Why ClamAV has significally small number of known viruses

I don't think that's true. 62 thousand signatures is a healthy amount.
main.cvd is up to date (version: 39, sigs: 58116, f-level: 8, builder:

daily.cvd is up to date (version: 1601, sigs: 3715, f-level: 8, builder:

But if you have samples that clamav is not finding, you are welcome to
submit them.
Not to mention that clamav was designed to be an email virus scanner.
Including signatures of viruses that are not transported through email
would be a waste of time and resources for the scope of this project.
If you enjoy the warm cozy feeling of your scanner being able to detect
10 year old dos viruses or some such thing, then perhaps you should
choose a different scanner.
