Almost the same.

As has been pointed out in recent postings (and in ClamAV's list), it is
recommended after updating that you rebuild the perl module.

Using the cpan shell:

cpan> force install Mail::ClamAV

MS's clamavmodule uses Mail:ClamAV which is linked to the clamav library.
Forcing the install you assure that the perl module is linked to the latest
library, the one you updated.
