That version of ClamAV (and thus FreshClam) is EOL and now no longer 
works after they've put in place rate-limiting and other restrictions to 
stop abuse of the database servers.


Either upgrade to a more recent version of ClamAV, or if you have a lot 
of client PCs, you could set up a private mirror using cvdupdate and 
have your old version get from that private mirror instead (but be aware 
that, at some point, the CVDs may stop working totally on your version, 
so it's worth upgrading to a more recent version in any case).
