ClamAV is primarily for scanning email, I can't see how a machine that
receives email can be completely divorced from the internet. It may not
have direct access, but what about its local mail server(s)?

I can't work out exactly what your objections are to the way that ClamAV
provides database updates. There is always a way of ensuring firewalled
access for a machine that needs to run ClamAV and if even that risk is
too great then surely someone is taking better care to ensure that site
policy prevents unauthorised access to any computer under all
circumstances.
