I don't think this is easily doable for devuan ascii.
(not much people want to backport manually)

I have backported software many times. It usually needs much time,
though in concrete case I suppose not so much because you can install
dependencies with 'apt-get build-deps clamav'. Furthermore, then you
have to update it manually. On the other hand, I'm sure the packages
will be updated in Devuan, just with a relatively long delay. It's
always so with Debian clamav packages.

Your choice.  I prefer (1) to be responsible for my own security, and
(2) to be considerate to people who provide me with a service for free
and also free advice about how cause the least trouble for them.  I'm
running 0.103.2 on Debian Buster which was no trouble at all to build.

Debian Buster was released nearly two years ago; Devuan Ascii is based
on Debian Stretch, which was released two years earlier.  I can't see
that it makes sense deliberately to throw away two years' development
plus security fixes but I understand what drove the Devuan distraction
and briefly flirted with it myself.  The experience did not prove to
be so refreshing as I had hoped.
