The release was announced on 14 Sep 2020, it seems that you left it quite a while before updating...

There were numerous fixes and improvements to 0.103.0 - see the above release announcement for more information.  Some of the changes noted would have the effect of scanning some types of files which would not have been scanned at all using earlier versions.  Some of them would result in what might be called 'deeper' scanning.  I imagine all of these could be expected to extend scanning times, although an increase of 50% seems rather high.  I guess it depends on the mix of files that you're scanning.

It would probably help if you could let us know what you are scanning.
You're clearly scanning filesystems, but as here we only use ClamAV to scan mail I don't think any statistics I could offer would help you.
