I'm not sure when the latest update you're trying to pick up was issued, BUT
I've also got this stuff running under windows and the mail gateway server and 
also for testing on my desktop computer.

Yesterday afternoon, the desktop computer's freshclam update attempts continued 
failing and along with these failures I was getting Windows Defender alerts about an 
issue being detected with the onaccess Windows Defender scanning.  When I dug 
into those reports, they pointed at a temp file in the clamav database directory
that freshclam was creating during the unpacking/update process.  The Windows 
Defender quarantine process interrupted the freshclam update...  This may be 
happening to you...  I added a Windows Defender exclusion form the clamav 
database directory and the updates subsequently succeeded.
