Second try:
What problem are you trying to solve with https? The data contain no secrets and
are freely available to any who wish to have it, so the immediate effect of
encryption is unneeded. Secondarily, https creates a greater server load to
encrypt the data, trusted SSL certs are an added expense, and the additional
bandwidth is also not free - someone is paying for it. This seems to me to be a
gratuitous use of https but I don't yet know your purpose for doing so.

Hello,
freshclam does not support https protocol.
Example, in freshclam.conf :
DatabaseCustomURL http://www.myserver.com/signatures.hdb works
DatabaseCustomURL https://www.myserver.com/signatures.hdb doesn't
ERROR: DatabaseCustomURL: Not supported protocol
https is more and more used for web servers. It could be a good idea if
freshclam support this protocol. What do you think ?
