The above show database version "955" dated "18:08:42 2005" - two 
years old.  Updates aren't working, despite what you say.

Maybe you need to run "ldconfig".  Maybe you need to uninstall your 
old version of clam.  Maybe freshclam doesn't have permission to 
write to the database directory.  Maybe your freshclam.conf specifies 
a different DatabaseDirectory than the compiled-in default of clamscan.
# clamconf
and
# clamscan --debug
might show something interesting, or at least will show where clam is 
looking for the databases.
