this looks like you are running two concurrent update processes.
This may or may not cause the problem.

do you have single dedicated IP address for this server?

> DatabaseOwner clamav
> DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

does the freshclam process run with permissions required to update the 
/var/lib/clamav directory? 
is it all owned by clamav user?
