Hi Team,

How can I create a new .cvd / .cld file with some external signature
database(clamav supported files like .hdb, .mdb).

No need to create a CVD. Just put the files you want to use (.hdb, .mdb,
.ldb, etc...) in a directory and point clamscan or clamd to that directory.
You can also put your custom signature files in the same directory has
main.cvd and daily.cvd and ClamAV will pick those up.

yes, currently we put those external database files directly into the
database directory itself and its working too, that's not a problem. I want
to know is there any option to generate .cvd files, because cvd files are
compressed and space optimized.

I suspect it's way more trouble than it's worth. You'll need a signing server so that it can be recognized as legitimate and it will slow things down to have to decompress it every time it needs to be loaded into memory.
