even something other than standard freshclam daemon does?
Or is it just for case freshclam does not run?
BTW - you don't need to shutdown clamd to update the signatures.
correct. In fact, developing the same task for something already
implemented may cause problems like this one.

Turns out there is a cron job I was unaware of.
freshclam-sleep is running every 3 hours.
Apparently, freshclam-sleep does something that freshclam doesn't
and causes a database update.
Do I need to run freshclam and freshclam-sleep?
Can I turn off the freshclam-sleep cron job or should I use
freshclam-sleep instead of freshclam in my daily 3am maintenance
script?

I recently installed clamav version 0.101.4-1.fc30 on Fedora 30.
A new situation I have never seen has started.
Every day around 5am clamd causes a problem.
I traced it to this in logs:
SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing reload.
I have a daily cron job that runs around 3am that:
- shuts down clamd
- runs freshclam
- starts clamd
I see several of these log entries after the above daily cron
between 3am and 5am:
SelfCheck: Database status OK.
So, since the Database is OK 99.9% of the time, why is it suddenly
not OK at 5am?
There are no cron jobs scheduled for 5am.
