Hello Andrew,

I use clamav provided by debian 8.11 :
dpkg -l|grep clam
ii  clamav 0.100.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1                      amd64        
anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface
ii  clamav-base 0.100.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1                      all          
anti-virus utility for Unix - base package
ii  clamav-daemon 0.100.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1                      
amd64        anti-virus utility for Unix - scanner daemon
ii  clamav-freshclam 0.100.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1                      
amd64        anti-virus utility for Unix - virus database update utility
ii  clamdscan 0.100.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1                      amd64        
anti-virus utility for Unix - scanner client
ii  libclamav7 0.100.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1                      amd64        
anti-virus utility for Unix - libraryrt
ii  libclamunrar7 0.99-0+deb8u3                              
amd64        anti-virus utility for Unix - unrar support

How to know if it is compiled with yara support ? clamscan --debug does 
not seem to provide the information.

On 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=clamav&suite=jessie-security, 
there is "no logs" for amd64
o.O
Other log files seems to show Debian compiles with yara support.
For example : 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=clamav&arch=i386&ver=0.100.2%2Bdfsg-0%2Bdeb8u1&stamp=1540398955&raw=0
