Assuming that there were not download problems...

Run

$> file clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz

and chances are beyond belief it will report it is a tar file. Or just run

$> tar xvf clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz and see if it explodes.

My bet is it will. Browsers/webservers are notorious for uncompressing
files on the fly without renaming them.
