Yes, I actually asked the clamav people to not break clamav everytime they release a new version. It seems so silly to expect everyone to upgrade the day a new version is available. Sadly they still show that very confusing message, and I get tons of mail from people that think they have to tell me that a new version is released...

For a virus scanner or other security-related items, it is silly *not* to update the day a new version is released. Well-written exploits are capable of flooding the internet in a day. In clam's case it only matters if the new code is necessary to detect some virus, though, and they may be making the announcements on changes that only affect efficiency.
