Yes, it is.  

And if a malicious file is being attached to an email for ClamAV to scan, then if a signature can be written to catch a file that may be attempting to export this vulnerability with either a logical signature or a bytecode signature, then I am sure that the ClamAV will write one to catch a file attempting to exploit the vulnerability.  

That was not the impression of your question when I read it.  As “vulnerabilities” are not added to ClamAV, signatures that look for the possible presence of a vulnerability in the file being scanned by ClamAV would be the most accurate way of saying that.
