There were a spate of these a couple of months back when the database
started getted hosted at a lot of places and they all received dns records.
When the udp dns response comes back, it can't all fit in the packet so your
dns resolver is supposed to query again via tcp.  If your firewall has
recently been modified to not allow tcp dns queries, you would probably see
just what you are seeing above.

To narrow down the problem further (and eliminate either dns or clamav), try
doing the dns query from wherever freshclam is running.
