(re)loaded by clamd can be different if you have extra signatures (from 
Sanesecurity 
etc.), but that number seems way out. You may have some old versions there.

I would either delete everything and do a complete reinstall, or carefully go 
through all 
files where the signatures are and remove the old ones.  Old versions (<0.93) 
also used 
subdirectories.

If in doubt, post a directory listing here.
