I don't think you *can* create a Term that spans two fields. Perhaps
you'd be better off just doing a search, getting the doc ID back then
adding a new version of the document.
You *could* think about reindexing your corpus and indexing an
additional field that was the concatenation of the two fields you
want to update by if that's a better solution.
