"Will refuse to load" means that daily.cvd will be considered a malformed database by ClamAV <= 0.94.2. If you have a malformed database you get an error message, and clamd/clamscan will exit with an error without scanning anything. The error message will tell about the End-of-Life status, and what to do about it.
