0.99.3 suffered of scope creep and included more than just security patches and urgent bugfixes.  As such, I would like to re-target these features for an upcoming “0.100.0” version. We are presently investigating to validate that the “100” number will not break other things that we’re aware of.  If all is okay, we would immediately re-release 0.99.3-beta2 as 0.100.0-beta and continue to address the few remaining issues blocking us from the 0.100.0 release candidate and release.

Given how long ClamAV already exists and still has a zero in front of its version number, I wonder if it woudn't make more sense to just call this new release 1.0.0 instead of investigating whether three digits in the 2nd component would break anything.

That is also something we have considering.  We want 1.0 to include a big functional update or change to warrant that number.  When you move between major versions like that, there are entities which then have to go "recertify" the software.  So we don't want to make a big change like that without something major to add.
