Ok, so we can't do that, but can you suggest a better method than
running freshclam every hour? I would think that the clamav development
team would be interested in doing a "push" to sites that wanted them,
because these are probably the same sites that update on an hourly basis
right now.

You should not do that, here are two reasons:
Firstly, there is a long delay between the moment when a maintainer do
an update and the receive of the mail in clamav-virusdb. Often 2 or 3
hours. Sourceforge mailing lists are actually posting messages 2 hours
after posting. Maintainer has also to make the announcement and complete
the processing of the samples after the update. This can sometime take 1
hour.
Secondly, you could have a problem receiving mails, Sourceforge could
have difficulties, or we could forget to post the notification. Last
point never happened, but who knows ...
