Are you not able to create your own mirror?

Hi,
Thanks for the info, but doing this across several groups of servers is not
really suitable. But that said, if there is no viable fix in the next day or
so, then this might be the only solution.
Does anyone have a list of confirmed working mirrors?
Thanks Joel for getting onto this, let me know if I can help somehow.

You don't need ClamAV ppl to help - you have complete control over this
process. Try this:
Find a healthy mirror
Put that healthy mirror's IP address in your freshclam.conf file as the first
definition of DatabaseMirror
Run freshclam manually.
grep ^DatabaseMirror freshclam.conf
You should see a host name such as db.de.clamav.net. Use the host or nslookup
command to expand that to reveal all the round-robin IP addresses. It looks
like this (as of this moment):
host db.de.clamav.net
db.de.clamav.net has address 195.30.97.3
db.de.clamav.net has address 212.227.138.145
db.de.clamav.net has address 213.174.32.130
db.de.clamav.net has address 5.9.253.237
db.de.clamav.net has address 62.27.56.14
db.de.clamav.net has address 62.201.161.84
db.de.clamav.net has address 62.245.181.53
db.de.clamav.net has address 84.39.110.99
db.de.clamav.net has address 88.198.17.100
db.de.clamav.net has address 130.133.110.67
db.de.clamav.net has address 144.76.28.11
db.de.clamav.net has address 178.63.73.246
db.de.clamav.net has address 193.27.49.165
Ping each of these hosts to see which ones respond. Use geoiplookup or similar
tool to find which healthy sites are located near you. No point trying to poll
a site around the world from you. If you don't have a geoip tool then notice
the response time of each mirror's successful ping. The lower the time the
better suited it could be for you.
Choose an IP that looks promising. Put that in your freshclam.conf file and run
freshclam. For example:
DatabaseMirror 195.30.97.3
Remember this is a temporary fix - don't depend on this configuration to work
in the long run. Undo it when the ClamAV ppl fix the mirrors problem.
As an aside try some diagnostics - run freshclam manually:
freshclam --list-mirrors
This will give you a list of mirrors and their health. On the report I see some
of the mirrors have never responded, others respond about 50% of the time. If
you see a mirror that is 100% successful you can use that in your
freshclam.conf file. It would be helpful if the ClamAV ppl would remove the bad
actors from the DNS records.
If none of this makes sense then do nothing and wait for the ClamAV ppl. Better
safe than sorry.

hi,
yes, this is ongoing as there are numerous broken mirrors in different
country zones out there, eg german zone db.de.clamav.net:

Hi,
I've checked the lists and nuked the mirror.dat file as suggested,
but still getting failure on dling daily-23699.cdiff via freshclam.
Also tried via wget, and got a 404 error. So currently I'm stuck on
23698.
Also nuked all .cld files and still failed.
I've got a few servers/machines that use ClamAV, so hoping a overall
fix instead of each machine would be preferable.
All machines are based in AU and failures happen with
db.local.clamav.net and database.clamav.net.
