Not that I'm aware, but...

Those software versions are pretty old. I'd recommend upgrading to
at least spamassassin-3.2.3 and clamav-0.91.2. There's a good chance
the error goes away in SA 3.2, as that was a pretty large rewrite.

On the other hand, it's a harmless warning, probably caused by a missing
or empty field in some malformed email.
