Assuming you installed clamav from EPEL, you would need to ask them when 
they plan to update the package. Version 0.101.0 was only released 
recently on 3rd Dec so it might take a while for it to be updated in the 
EPEL repository.

In the meantime, it's only a warning so either update it yourself or 
ignore it.
