FYI, I enquired and was told that Netgear has no plans to update.
Netgear built and distributed the software using ClamAV source. They likely made some mods to enable control and status reporting from the ReadyNAS Web UI.
Attempts to install current ClamAV from the ClamAV repo will fail. So if you want to do this yourself, you'd either need to figure out how to rebuild the current ClamAV for Debian 8, or maybe try a docker container.
