A little question: what would ClamAV offer as good from other commercial AVs if it would be neccesary to pay for that kind of checks?Or, how about a subscription only (i.e. pay for) mirror which people can query every five minutes if they like ?
This has the advantage that users who require this don't have to do anything
special (like set up an rsync server), just change the mirror they use and
the interval that freshclam runs.
I'd be interested in running one of these if the database team would be willing to push updates out to a private mirror. (A percentage of the revenue generated would then be fed back into the ClamAV project!)

For some people that service by itself is worth paying for - whether enough people feel that way to make a profit remains to be seen. That's the beauty of running a business - no guarantees, just opportunity. It certainly can generate enough income to at least offset some costs.
The question you should ask is: is it realistic to assume that volunteers will allow their systems to be slammed by rude people who are impatiently polling them for updates that don't exist, and the ensuing dogpile for the update when it becomes available? The answer is no, of course. A for-fee system is a nice alternative to nothing.
example: irh.com - Hawaiian music from Kailua
This will go away if enough people don't reach into their pockets. I can see the same for ClamAV.
Besides - I'd like to contribute without screwing with the Affero stuff.
