The signature files are only downloaded if an updated file is detected. While other scripts are based on one of my original scripts, they are heavily modified. As far as I know, my script is the only one that checks and reports on the status of clamd and will attempt to restart the daemon, if enabled.
I have not built logging into the script (although I have thought about it), but if you enable cron to email you the script results, then you will get a detailed report of what happened with each cron run. Anyway, your current script probably already does signature file testing, so that's most likely not the issue with clamd stopping periodically. Do you possibly have PhishingScanURLs enabled in your clamd.conf. Others have reported issues with this option.
