After a long time I tried to scan a file but saw databases are very old
and update was not working. Then I deleted databases
from /var/lib/clamav thinking this will resolve problem. But obviously
I was wrong. And yes, I have another machine with clamav which is
behind the same NAT as the problematic machine.

Now I just copied files from another machine and freshclam says
databases are up to date. I'll see after update become available if
freshclam will be able to download it.

Thanks,
