Why would you stay with dreary ol' 10.0? I've installed exactly this
on a LE2005 (10.2) with no problems whatsoever... And will probably
move up to 10.3 (2006) when I get a free timeslot or two...:-)

Kind of points to your problem not being the same, wouldn't you say?

Do you have any other errors that might pertain to this? That "failed
in require" indicate that you can't get hold of the libclamav
functions somehow (assuming I read the code correctly:-), one option
of which would be for it to fail to build at all...

BTW, you should really update that Clamav install on the "old
(working) system" regardless of this problem, since 0.83 will fail to
get signature updates (run a "freshclam -v" if you need "proof":).
