Do you get the same from freshclam? The clamav-autoupdate basically just run
freshclam...
Perhaps you have multiple clamav installed (or "leftovers" from more than
one)? Check your virus.scanners.conf for the relevant one you are using:).
As always, one install of the latest stable is best.
The error itself is ... pretty sever, I'd think, since you will lack proper
updates until fixed.

Cheers
