You've got a couple of options here:

1)  If you haven't run "fink cleanup" since updating, then you may have
the clamav-0.97 .deb archives.  You can check this via

fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy clamav

If the old files are listed, then you can downgrade via e.g.

sudo apt-get install clamav=0.97.4-11 clamav-daemon=0.97.4-11
clamav7-shlibs=0.97.4-11 clamav7-dev=0.97.4-11

2)  If you don't have the .debs, you can download the the prior package
description:

http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/utils/clamav.info?revision=1.5

Save it to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo so that it doesn't get
overwritten.  Then verify that everything is ok by using "fink dumpinfo
-fallversions clamav".  If 0.97.4-11 is listed as an available version,
you should then be able to use

fink install clamav-0.97.4-11

to downgrade.

In either case you'll want either to hold off on using "fink
update-all", or you'll need to remember to downgrade clamav by either of
the methods above.
