The prdownloads is a link to a list of mirror sites that host the file, so what you're getting is the html file result of grabbing the mirror page.
Try following that prdownloads link until you get to a page that prompts you to save a file, the one I used for instance to get the file was
http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz
But it's totally up to you which mirror you want to get the file from.
Hope that helps.

Well, still no love here ..
tar xvf clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header

So then:
file clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz reports:

I used wget to download this file. I'm thinking that it must be the way I invoked wget which was simply:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz
I also tried wget -dv http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz and got this output:

Can someone save me from either my own stupidity or my insanity? I have downloaded the latest release candidate of ClamAV and then tried to extract the archive and nothing I do is working. Here is what I have been trying:
zcat clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
And here is the response I get:
zcat: clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz: not in gzip format
In fact, no permutation of tar or gunzip seems to work for me. Any help for this brain of mine?

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.
