I know this is not from your spec file, but, it shows what I was writing
about

# rpm -q -l -p clamav-data-0.96.5-1301el5.x86_64.rpm
/var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd
/var/lib/clamav/main.cvd

# ls -l /var/lib/clamav/
total 67440
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamupdate clamupdate   459264 Feb 15 11:24 bytecode.cld
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamupdate clamupdate  3071488 Feb 18 10:36 daily.cld
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamupdate clamupdate 65422336 Nov 14 11:24 main.cld
-rw------- 1 clamupdate clamupdate      884 Feb 18 10:36 mirrors.dat

The file extensions are different, why this is, I do not know.   IMHO
it's nice to have the option of not having RPM mess with the database,
the "-empty" package is a way to do that.  If you are updating clamav,
then chances are the db on disk is newer than the one in the updated RPM
that is being installed. The database included with the RPM is also most
likely out-of-date by the time the RPM is released, so, personally, I
see more value in a database installed via freshclam, than one installed
via the package.
