Is your clam AV version up to date? I sometimes see similar messages when I"m 
more than one levelset behind and the mirrors have changed. What does
clamscan -V and freshclam -V reveal?

    Database updated (234394 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (IP:

    Clamd successfully notified about the update.

This was a particularly bad case.  Can anyone explain why there should
be so many errors?  Is 4:30 AM just a bad time for downloading?
