Apologies if I've missed the obvious, but I think it's just a case of
logically breaking down your problem step by step and seeing where 
your setup is wrong. Where is your problem; before the proxy, with the
proxy, after it, or a mixture of these?

Possible things you could try:

   host www
   
or similar from your "freshclam" machine to check your DNS works OK to
find your proxy.  Can you ping your proxy from the "freshclam" machine
to see if the route is OK?  Have you tried 

   host database.clamav.net
   
from your freshclam machine, you should see something like:

  database.clamav.net     CNAME   db.local.clamav.net
  db.local.clamav.net     CNAME   db.europe.clamav.net
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       217.154.108.81
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       62.210.153.201
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       80.69.67.3
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       152.66.249.132
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       193.1.219.100
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       193.138.115.108
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       193.225.86.3
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       195.70.36.141
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       212.31.160.239
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       213.184.16.3
  db.europe.clamav.net    A       213.203.254.4


Have you tried 

   traceroute database.clamav.net
   
from your freshclam machine? I get the following when I try this (but
then we have a vpn to head office so this looks a bit odd to me):

traceroute: Warning: database.clamav.net has multiple addresses; using 193.138.115.108
traceroute to db.europe.clamav.net (193.138.115.108), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  labgw-o (10.100.200.1)  0.364 ms  0.187 ms  0.099 ms
 2  httpproxy-l (10.100.130.2)  0.375 ms  0.234 ms  0.183 ms
 3  httpproxy-l (10.100.130.2)  0.348 ms  0.398 ms  0.340 ms


Is the HTTPProxyPort is set to something sensible (maybe 8080), and
are the HTTPProxyUsername and HTTPProxyPassword are also correctly set
(or commented out) in freshclam.conf?

Have you tried using the proxy from your "freshclam" machine for
simple web browsing?  Do you have a firewall issue?  Do you know that
the proxy actually works?  

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Jo.
