Hello, I have suffered the same problem you describe with clam updates. Finally it worked the upgrade from 0.92.XXX to 0.93.
[root@Carmen ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i clam clamav-db-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 clamd-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 clamav-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386
The problem I had was that at starting the clamd the daemon it crashed claiming something about the database format was incorrect. As you can imagine I have uninstalled clam*; saved the configuration files; updatedb; locate -i clam; yum install clamav-db clamd clamav; re-tunned the conf files, rights, etc...; fresclam; and it is working again.
Hope it helps. Regards,
P.S.: Yes, I do love top-posting if it helps (before some taliban says something to me, the list is to help people. I hope not to be unpolite)
I removed my 0.92 clamav, then installed the new one, which went without a hitch. The odd thing was that 'yum provides' said that the missing file was actually provided by the existing clamav. Very confusing.
