If you are seeing three copies of each unofficial database, then you have a problem somewhere. This topic is really OT for the ClamAV mailing list. If you wish to persist in scrutinizing the inner workings of the clamav-unofficial-sigs script, then either review the script itself with your favorite text editor or please move this discussion to the Sanesecurity users list, where it would be more appropriately discussed.
