Ugo;

My installations use this version:

[root at rivendell root]# clamscan -V
ClamAV 0.85.1/929/Sun Jun 12 09:11:33 2005

Which is the one you found 'same'. It seems to work fine:

[root at rivendell root]# grep updated /var/log/maillog
....
Jun 11 16:10:22 rivendell ClamAV-autoupdate[16565]: ClamAV updated
Jun 12 01:10:36 rivendell ClamAV-autoupdate[32549]: ClamAV updated
Jun 12 05:03:35 rivendell ClamAV-autoupdate[21590]: ClamAV updated
Jun 12 09:05:51 rivendell ClamAV-autoupdate[29811]: ClamAV updated
Jun 12 10:05:52 rivendell ClamAV-autoupdate[31400]: ClamAV updated

When I check the database files they look like this:

-rw-r--r--    1 clamav   clamav      69314 Jun 12 10:05 daily.cvd
-rw-r--r--    1 clamav   clamav    2196392 Jun  4 23:10 main.cvd

The times are in BRT.

Notice that the other one has a slightly lower minor revision number. I would update.

Miguel
