After a hiccough with connectivity where I needed to change the
resolv.conf server order and subsequently reverse it, I found that
freshclam was failing with an error like this:

ERROR: Connection with clamav.database.net (IP: ???) failed.

I tried all sorts to fix it, but couldn't. All the time
database.clamav.net was resolvable with host and dig, other programs
were fine. Just freshclam was unhappy.

Suddenly at 19.13 this evening, it was working again without me
changing anything at all. I wasn't even near the PC.

Any ideas what this could be? I see various comments here about a
similar problem for a few other people, but as yet no explanation as to
what is going on.

I'm running clamav-0.74 built from source rpm.
