Something happened Aug. 17, that's certain.  From the test you made, which
discards network problems, and this there seems to be something else.  Is
freshclam running from cron or as a daemon?  Correct user and permissions?  Non
full filesystem? both /tmp and where the database resides /usr/share/clamav ...

What's the output of running:

1. freshclam -v

and if that didn't update the database (if needed), then

2. freshclam --debug
