The safebrowsing feature of ClamAV uses a separate domain list and
whitelist from the other signatures. The blacklisted domains are stored in
.pdb files, and the whitelist is stored in .wdb files. These process
domains from URLs instead of virus signatures, so that's why trying to use
your local .ign2 whitelist didn't help.

You'll need both the real URL and the displayed URL from the weblink to
whitelist a link. Here's an example of a safebrowsing whitelist item. To
whitelist a link that displays "displayhostname.com" with a real URL target
of "www.myrealhostname.com", the line will look like this:

M:displayhostname.com:www.myrealhostname.com

The M is the type flag for simple hostname comparisons. There are other
types for regular expressions if you need it.

Replace the hostnames appropriately and add a line like that to your local
whitelist (.wdb not .ign2) and you should be good to go.

PS: As for Google's Safebrowsing list, they offer a page to check the
status for any domain. They do have some transparency on why a domain was
placed on the list, and links for web administrators to seek remediation.
