I don't know about the Windows world, but plenty of people separate them on 
Linux:

Debian has a separate libclamunrar6 package in non-free:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/libc/libclamunrar.html

Fedora&EPEL completely remove libclamunrar:
http://pkgs.org/fedora-17/fedora-updates-x86_64/clamav-lib-0.97.5-1700.fc17.x86_64.rpm.html
http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/epel-x86_64/clamav-0.97.3-3.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
