Yes, and NO
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
Yes and No... hmm, is that a maybe?
Since I don't have the details at hand:
Yes, ClamAV was/will be bought by a company.
No, it does Not mean it will become "not open source".

They would have to re-write all the code (and maybe call it differently) to change the licensing. Or keep part of the clamwin code and release it under multiple licenses. Am I correct?

Whoever owns the code can do whatever he/she wants with it.

clamwin was bought by avira or avg awhile ago some time last year i think
if you don't know-ee you should ASCII
but open source code cannot be made closed source later
if they wanted to make it closed source they would have to rewrite all of it from scratch
Lead, Follow, or get out of the way.
The only thing that they cannot do is revoke the open source nature of the previously released open source code.
If you have already got a copy of the open source one, there is nothing they can do to stop you continuing an open source fork of the project should you choose to.
since you no longer have access to that with your fork
