The problem is not with the compiled programs, try running the following to force a complete download into a different location: freshclam -v --datadir=/tmp The -v will give you more info about what is going on, I expect that freshclam tries several mirrors before giving up if the error persists. Since nobody else seems to have the same problem we can discard that all the mirrors have corrupted databases, there must be something in your system that either filters the network traffic (a proxy perhaps) or doesn't allow freshclam to write the database file (full partition? Then it will probably download fine to /tmp as the command above specifies).
