The rationale was probably to clean up the mess with way too many sub-packages in the old packaging. In the new clamav-db the virus database is marked as %config(noreplace), so it will not overwrite your updated virus-database. That should hopefully mean that there's not much point in also providing a clamav-db-empty..
