Not quite. I have taken over the packaging of this and the
justification of packaging the sigs is partly that the tool will
work and scan out of the box, partly for the offline consideration
and partly because there will be a delay after installation where
ClamAV is installed but not in a running condition. IIRC it won't
even start without a database. This means that a yum install will
need to pause and run freshclam before it can attempt to start
clamd.
This has knock-on issues and, apparently, it is always best for
yum todownload what it needs with yum and not some third party
tool.
Last time I looked at the .spec file the signatures were marked
%config(noreplace)
Does that avoid the yum issues ?
I can see the sense in running
freshclam --datadir=...
(or cvdupdate) in the
%prep or %build section of clamav.spec
rather than in the %post.
Or even have two sub-packages clamav-db-large and clamav-db-small
both providing clamav-db ? -large has the files and -small has the
%post script.

I give up. This is like pushing water up hill. There is no sensible
way of building the packages in one pass which allows me to package
the sigs automatically. It looks like Cisco will block you if you try
to down load anything and fighting Cisco or trying to get them to
change is a total waste of effort.
cisco does that because of multiple times explained reason.
you are supposed to download with freshclam or use cvdupdate.
that's the only optimisation cisco gives us. all other used to overload the
mirrors.
