Im sure that many of you must have a similar setup, how do you get cron to
only send an email when freshclam exits with an error code? Is there a way
to check the error code first in cron?

Cron will automagically email any output to the owner of the crontab.
And the --quiet means there won't be any output unless there's an error.
There's really no need for additional complexity here....
