FWIW, This is the result of sigtool --info daily.cvd after the failed 
freshclam run

C:\temp]sigtool --info db\daily.cvd

Verification OK.

If I run freshclam with that database in place, I get:

ClamAV update process started at Sat Apr 23 18:56:50 2022
daily database available for update (local version: 26520, remote 
version: 26521)
Current database is 1 version behind.
Downloading database patch # 26521...
Time:    0.1s, ETA:    0.0s [========================>] 18.32KiB/18.32KiB
ERROR: buildcld: Can't add daily.ldb to new daily.cld - please check if

available
ERROR: updatedb: Incremental update failed. Failed to build CLD.
ERROR: Unexpected error when attempting to update daily: Failed to 
update database
ERROR: Database update process failed: Failed to update database
ERROR: Update failed.

(there is plenty of free disk space)

I can't see what the patch file is like as that doesn't seem to get left 
after freshclam terminates, and I can't see an option to prevent it 
being deleted
