This is one of the IPs which I was expecting to see.  I wouldn't expect any
problems with it, our ClamAV server updated from it at 1818 GMT last night.

Maybe you have a proxy between you and the Cloudflare servers which is caching
the data downloads?  Try downloading the 'daily' file with 'wget' from several
different places and check which versions you receive.
