Dude. You have a package manager, use it. That seems like an awful lot
of work to avoid letting the package manager do it's job.
Add volatile or unstable (source only) to your sources.list.
apt-get source clamav
cd clamav-0.88.4
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd -
dpkg -i ....
It's really not that hard. There are even wrapper scripts that check to
make sure your compiled from source packages are up to date and grab new
versions and that sort of thing, but if you're only tracking the one,
the manual method is nice and simple.

Yes, but that would require I learn how to use it. :)
After getting everything in place (and disabling Ubuntu universe deb-src) I
was able to build:
clamav-base_0.88.4-2_all.deb
clamav-daemon_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-dbg_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-docs_0.88.4-2_all.deb
clamav-freshclam_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-milter_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-testfiles_0.88.4-2_all.deb
clamav_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
libclamav-dev_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
libclamav1_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
Of which I installed
libclamav1_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
libclamav-dev_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-base_0.88.4-2_all.deb
clamav_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-daemon_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
clamav-docs_0.88.4-2_all.deb
clamav-freshclam_0.88.4-2_i386.deb
The initscripts and .conf files have differences over the Ubuntu files, but
are functional as one might expect. This is obviously a better way to
approach this, but no less work.
