I hate having to point this out, but...

When Alain notified the list that the signature had been dropped on July 25, 
2016 at 8:12:21 AM PDT, daily:21968 had just be published.

It wasn’t until daily:21975 that the following appeared with the first dropped 
entry:
> ClamAV Signature Publishing Notice
> 
> Datefile:       daily
> Version:        21975
> Publisher:      Alain Zidouemba
> New Sigs:       119
> Dropped Sigs:   1
> Ignored Sigs:   33
<snip>
> Dropped Detection Signatures:
> 
> 
>    * Xml.Exploit.CVE_2013_3860-1

When I checked before this update the signature was still present on the ClamAV 
Virus Signature Search site.  When I checked shortly after this update it was 
gone. So that would seem to make it a total of seven update cycles before it 
was actually dropped.

And that still doesn’t explain why three days went by between daily:21954 and 
daily:21971 (eighteen cycles) with identical updates of:
> ClamAV Signature Publishing Notice
> 
> Datefile:       daily
> Version:        21971
> Publisher:      Alain Zidouemba
> New Sigs:       0
> Dropped Sigs:   0
> Ignored Sigs:   33
> 
> 
> New Detection Signatures:
> 
> 
> 
> Dropped Detection Signatures:
> 

But that question was asked in a different thread by a different user.
