The databases are no longer available as a separate download due to 
massive abuse of the download system.

Use freshclam from a supported version of clamav to get database 
updates.

The "virus database" section on https://www.clamav.net/downloads has 
details for how to get a copy for a machine with no or limited 
internet access.

For more info, see the discussion in the list archive.
