Debian 6 (AKA Squeeze) is also out of support.  The LTS period ended at the end of February, so those users should upgrade as well.  As it happens, the extended support repository for Squeeze, squeeze-lts, did have clamav 0.99.

For Debian we make an effort to get clamav updated versions in all supported releases.
