Hello,
                Since March 3rd 2021,  I have been unable to download the Virus definitions.  I have verified that it is not the local firewalls or anything else blocking it so I can only guess I have been added to the blocked IP list.

Current working dir is /usr/local/share/clamav
Max retries == 3
