Michael, a similar discussion recently popped out on the clamav-binary mailing list. The official statement from the ClamAV team is: please keep on shipping a base virus DB no matter how old as this terribly helps our mirrors. For all the details, please subscribe to clamav-binary and check out the archives. Actually it's a good idea to do that anyway.
