Running windows here with ClamD.  I retrieved the version info for clamscan, both 0.99.4 and 
0.99.3.  You are correct in what 0.99.4 reports but notice what v0.99.3 reports.  There weren't 
any version discrepancies warnings while running it though.  Hmmm.
Keep in mind that this is based on the following downloaded files:
clamav-0.99.4-win-x86.zip
clamav-0.99.3-windows-x86.zip files

Clamscan v0.99.4:
c:\clamav\clamscan --version
ClamAV clamav-0.99.4

Clamscan v0.99.3
c:\clamav_0_99_3\clamscan --version
ClamAV devel-clamav-0.99.2-20-g224f73461

Out of curiosity I retrieved the version info for clamd...

Clamd v0.99.4:
c:\clamav\clamd --version
ClamAV clamav-0.99.4/24377/Fri Mar 09 04:13:20 2018

Clamd v0.99.3:
c:\clamav_0_99_3\clamd --version
ClamAV devel-clamav-0.99.2-20-g224f73461/24377/Fri Mar 09 04:13:20 2018
