due to huge abuse from web fetchers like wget, clamav has recently blocked
fetching virus databases by non-freshclam clients and freshclam older than
0.100:

I can't really tell why or how it worked with older squid releases (maybe
clearing the user-agent?), but you should definitely download ClamAV updates
using recent freshclam.

Please, upgrade to recent ClamAV first, or set up cvdupdate:

If that doesn't work, contact the clamav - changes are, you are blacklisted
from fetching updates.
