Simon-- After ~20+ postings from you on this topic, you're not saying anything new.
Unlike the poor folks running McAfee on Windows who are having their machines rendered unbootable due to a false positive with v5958 of their database, it would require far less effort on your part to either update ClamAV to a non-obsolete version, or to revert to using ClamAV antivirus definitions from 2010-4-14 and continue to operate your outdated ClamAV installation(s) for as long as you want. If you don't choose to accept ClamAV's update policies, by all means, use something else, or feel free to actually do some useful sanity checking by reviewing automated virus updates obtained from freshclam before deploying them to systems that you care about. My assessment is that there is no chance whatsoever that you will persuade Sourcefire/ClamAV team to provide separate signatures and update servers for obsolete versions, but there is nothing preventing you from doing that yourself if you like.
