The log is locked by the daemon.

Updates are performed by the daemon, not via a cron job, if you chose so
during installation.
You can fine tune it with the "Checks" parameter in
"/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf".

If you chose to update via cron job, the script
"/etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam" says:
"If user wants it run from cron, we only accept no-daemon and stop"
