If you install the CVS version, I believe it uses the new CVD format,
so yes, the db are different. By stable you mean 0.60 yes?

Write the freshclam output to a logfile and analyse it. From what I
think, updating the db 3 times a day could mean "upto date". Let the
db maintainers tell us what the reality is though ;)

man freshclam.

Hmm, I don't think so, but you can run freshclam from within a shell
script that would include diff-ing so that you see what changes were
made.
