neither do I - I can only guess
- they forgot they subscribed once their problem was solved
- they inherited someone other's e-mail address
- their spam filter blocked unsubscribe confirmation request

however:

when I followed the bottom-most message, I've had to click two times, enter 
my e-mail and click "unsubscribe" again. That's too much expecially for 2nd 
case

- putting information about "unsubscribe" in addition to "subscribe" to
https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
and
https://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml

- pointing to the latter link from e-mail 

- highlighting the info that unsubscription must be explicitly confirmed and 
that spam folder should be checked for confirmation e-mail if it doesn't 
arrive

they could make it easier to unsubscribe.
