The relevant section of the postrm:
case "$1" in
  purge)
  if [ -x "/usr/bin/ucf" ]; then
    UCFLIST="/etc/cron.d/clamav-daemon \
      /etc/clamav.conf \
      /etc/clamav/clamav.conf \
      /etc/clamav/clamd.conf \
      /var/lib/clamav/clamav.conf.*.md5"
    for i in $UCFLIST; do
      ucf -p $i || true
      if [ -e $i ]; then
        rm -f $i || true
      fi
    done
  fi
  rm -f /var/log/clamav/clamav.log* /etc/clamav/clamav.conf.dpkg-old /etc/clamav/clamd.conf.dpkg-old /etc/clamav/clamd.conf.ucf-old
  if [ -x "/usr/sbin/userdel" ]; then
    userdel clamav || true
  fi
  if [ -x "/usr/sbin/groupdel" ]; then
    groupdel clamav || true
  fi
  rm -f /var/lib/clamav/*.md5sum || true
  for dir in /etc/clamav/ /var/log/clamav /var/lib/clamav/; do
    if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
      rmdir "$dir" --ignore-fail-on-non-empty || true
    fi
  done
  ;;

So I see why it leaves /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd and
/var/lib/clamav/main.cvd - that's a bug.  I don't understand why it
leaves /etc/clamav/clamd.conf, since it's in $UCFLIST and those files
should be rm'ed.

Hmmm.
