I tried that on the 24th, it had had no affect.

If freshclam is trying more than once per day than that is a freshclam

Yes, and a few others, they are of no help with the specific problem in

I suspect that this particular CDN endpoint is serving a corrupt file. 
(why isn't there a freshclam logged entry indicating which CDN mirror is
giving the error, after all the CDN can log the cooldown specifics)
