Having a quick look at the upgrading notes, looks like the clamd
interface will need a little work also. (oh and of course clamavmodule
;-)

>> Dear ClamAV users,
>>
>> ClamAV 0.95rc1 introduces many bugfixes, improvements and additions. To
>> make
>> the transition easier, we put various tips and upgrade notes on this page:
>> https://wiki.clamav.net/Main/UpgradeNotes095
>>
>> The following are the key features of this release:
>>
>>    - New clamav-milter: The program has been redesigned and rewritten from
>>      scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has
>> been
>>      dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required.
>>      The milter now also has its own configuration file.
>>
>>    - Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load
>>      that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol,
>>      and reduce latency when signature updates are received. Fore more
>>      information about the new extensions please see the official
>>      documentation and the upgrade notes.
>>
>>    - Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV's engine (libclamav) has
>>      been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves
>>      various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases.
>>      You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in
>>      the upgrade notes.
>>
>>    - ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to
>>      monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd's
>>      queue, clamd's memory usage, and the version of the signature
>> database,
>>      all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface.
>>
>>    - Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool
>>      allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the
>>      traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that
>>      is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory,
>>      particularly when signature updates are received and the database is
>>      loaded into memory.
>>
>>    - Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV's
>>      suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general
>>      parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options
>> across
>>      the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed
>>      (the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will
>>      result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan --help for
>>      the details.
