Try putting this at the top of your cronjob:
host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net
perl -e 'printf "%d\n", time;'

The 4th field of the first line should be less than 3 * 3660 behind the
output of the second line, if you follow me.  If not, you have a caching
DNS server somewhere misbehaving.

Take care,
