If I update database with freshclam will it restore disabled signature?

That's why you put the modified files in a different directory, and tell clamd.conf and clamscan to use the new directory. Let freshclam continue to update the *cvd files in the original directory, which you aren't using anymore.

If you need to use this custom database for an extended period, write a little script to do the [ unpack | edit | move ] procedure. You can even trigger it automatically with freshclam's OnUpdateExecute option.
