And, after 7 days, you'll see warning messages about outdated definitions when clam starts up.

And Freshclam and cvdupdate will still download the right files.

This largely depends on your build system. In the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) we start out with a 'clean' build environment for every (re)build, so running freshclam during build, would mean it would need to download the full database again for each build (which probably would lead to blacklisting pretty quickly). That means, if we would have network connectivity during build (which is not the case). We don't consider packaging the database files useful, as these will be outdated almost immediately and keeping them fresh by packaging them, would mean *huge* downloads almost daily.

In cases where you need a database, just copy them over on a flash drive. If you want to install something on a compromised system without network connectivity, you'll need to use portable storage anyway.
