You are seeing the time remaining in the cached lookup on your system. Subsequent queries will show the TTL falling with time.

Thanks Dennis, for straightening me out on that.

Strangely I get a different answer using nslookup:

$ nslookup -type=txt -debug current.cvd.clamav.net
Server:         10.0.1.1
Address:        10.0.1.1#53

        text = "0.99.2:57:22592:1479958214:1:63:45271:285"
        ttl = 1078

Non-authoritative answer:
current.cvd.clamav.net  text = "0.99.2:57:22592:1479958214:1:63:45271:285"

Authoritative answers can be found from:


In any case, since updates occur at four hour intervals and checks are normally 
limited to once an hour, a ttl of 30 minutes should be OK for most. I can see 
where it might be a factor for those that find a need to check at the maximum 
limit of four times per hour using a country coded freshclam.conf.

The TTL for the TXT record at current.cvd.clamav.net is 1800 seconds. You can 
retrieve with curl or wget older versions of the signature by specifying the 
full file name, for example daily-22590.cdiff

So I think I have the answer for this one. From my research it would seem that 
TTL values are set by the DNS server you are accessing, not by the ClamAV and 
is the same for all records on that server.  You would have to check with the 
DNS ISP to find out if it has changed or not.
