I think actually that if you set MAILON=error you will get the result that
you want.

Ahh well you have /etc/cron-apt/config.d ... Name the configuration file the
same as the action and that setting will have effect only for that one.
/etc/cron-apt/action.d/4-install-clamav-data
your script here that return non-zero on failure
/etc/cron-apt/config.d/4-install-clamav-data
MAILON=error
EXITON=never (if you want that)
/etc/cron-apt/config.d/5-setback
MAILON=changes
EXITON=error
For the next action you set it back to what you want to have.
I think it is all there, however maybe not that well documented.
If it is not working like this I think it is a bug, and then not a
wishlist but, but I may have misundertood you. :)
