The build issue was a red herring, sorry about that. It turns out a 
specific file, xdate.exe, is causing clamscan to segfault. This is an 
old file, from 2012, used for date formatting, but it has just started 
causing problems. I've reproduced the segfault in 0.99.1-1 and 0.98.7-2 
running on Cygwin64 on Windows Server 2012, but didn't go any further 
back than that. I've verified that there are no viruses in the file 
(according to virustotal.com):

https://virustotal.com/en/file/937800ed6b0408b9dba4e4dc507cd0b1962d3adb6285947db520009d19cbe24e/analysis/1463097443/

The file is here (it's listed as "free for any use"):

http://people.redhat.com/mikeb/clamscan-segfault/xdate.exe

The output from running "clamscan --debug xdate.exe" is here:

http://people.redhat.com/mikeb/clamscan-segfault/clamscan-debug-xdate.log

and the stackdump is here:

http://people.redhat.com/mikeb/clamscan-segfault/clamscan.exe.stackdump

Sounds like this should be reported to Clamav upstream. Is anyone 
involved with Clamav already, that could report this to the right 
people, or do I need to start signing up for mailing lists? :)
