As does mine, as it has since I don't know when, and my freshclam.conf 
has logging turned on.

It *didn't* work during the switch over to Cloudflare, but has been fine 
since that stabilised, but when it wasn't working I had a cron job that 
deleted "mirrors.dat" every hour, which reduced the failure rate.

But the OP has refused to consider trying that.
