freshclam didn't had to check versions because it already had the latest
according to the DNS query.

No, at least not for the problem you were seeing. The problem was caused by an
external factor (one or more mirrors that somehow skipped the version 40 update)
so anything you do internally won't affect the external cause.
BTW what I've done to alleviate this kind of problem is to add more mirrors to
freshclam's config, as fall back (if the 1st fails freshclam tries the 2nd and
so on until it reaches database.mirror.net -- why didn't this happen in your
case? probably returned the mirror you already had used), which was the old way
used with freshclam.
