Could be a different location is configured where freshclam updates  
the database and where clamd is looking for it:

# grep DatabaseDirectory /etc/clamd.conf /etc/freshclam.conf
/etc/clamd.conf:#DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
/etc/freshclam.conf:#DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

Here the build-in defaults are used for both and they are the same. It  
could be yours differ. Typically, clamd will check this directory  
every 10 minutes, so even if the signal from freshclam that a new  
database is available, clamd should be running the latest one shortly  
after download.
