I have seen something similar on an older instance of clamav, where the 
database was seriously out-of date. The problem was that the download of 
new databases took too long. It worked, but was slow, and freshclam 
timed out before finishing the download and started over again. I think 
I had to increase "ReceiveTimeout 30" in freshclam.conf.
