So far, I've only had to reset the permissions on daily.inc once (on each
mail server), after freshclam first created the directory in its transition
to the new update system from the old.  (Freshclam strongly dislikes having
the directory pre-created with the "correct" (for us) permissions, calling
it corrupt and throwing it away and downloading daily.cvd--it is better not
to try to "help".)

The way our system operates, we learned of the problem well after the 700
permissions were set up, when I restarted our mail processing system for
another reason.  (We run two processing systems per machine--handling
submitted mail and handling incoming-from-the-world mail, each under its own
user, so 700 is "difficult" for us.)
