Query the posts ordered by date, restricted to 1 post to display, then get the date.
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$lastpost = get_posts($args);
echo $lastpost[0] -> post_date;
Edited last line for proper display:
$lastpostdate = $lastpost[0] -> post_date;
echo '<div class="lastpostdate>"' . $lastpostdate . '</div>';
Or, if you already have the query with the default order, you can just get the last post’s date from it:
// assuming $myquery is your query
$lastpostdate = $myquery -> posts[0] -> post_date;
Or, if you have not altered the global query, in archives just use:
$lastpostdate = $wp_query -> posts[0] -> post_date;
