The Ubuntu repositories now have 0.98.5. This answer is remaining here as legacy and evidence as to why this was +1'd and accepted.

You can build and compile the source code of ClamAV as Karl's answer says, if you are worried about security vulnerabilities in PPA code.

Having said this, I've recently backported ClamAV 0.98.4 from Debian Unstable to Precise, Trusty, and Utopic in a PPA, without any changes, and that PPA is located here. If you don't have any qualms using the package direct from Debian without changes, you can install clamav 0.98.4 from my PPA by using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teward/clamav

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Note that you have to assume I won't be introducing vulnerabilities. If you really want to see there's no differences between what's in Debian Unstable and my PPA, the changes files are available in the PPA itself. (All I did was add a changelog entry for the Ubuntu upload and nothing more)
