freshclam records download errors in a file "mirrors.dat" so it
won't keep retrying a bad server.  Those servers are ignored for a
time, and eventually retried (after few days I think).

It's safe to remove the mirrors.dat file to reset the download history.

rm /var/lib/clamav/mirrors.dat

then run freshclam again.
