I would make a backup of the /var/clamav directory first and then I would delete the stale databases and then ensure clamav starts up and see if it's complaining about anything.

Sounds great.

Should I first remove the stale databases installed by the legacy scamp script?

If so, is it sufficient to delete the undesired / stale databases from the db directory?

In this case I would delete everything below main.cld in the listing below:
