I also tried to fetch the main.cvd file with wget. It took several minutes to establish connection, and the transfer rate is about 100 bytes per second.

I bet your connecion ist the problem.

I tried to download clamav binaries from various mirrors from sourceforge. The size of the file is 5.3 MB

mesh.dl.sourceforge.net: avg 425.25 KB/s, total 12.515 seconds
jaist.dl.sourceforge.net: avg 311.16 KB/s, total 17.190 seconds
heanet.dl.sourceforge.net: avg 491.30 KB/s, total 10.881 seconds

For some reason I am sure that our connection can handle more than 100 bytes per second :)

I have also tried to download this file:
http://clamav-sj.viaverio.com/daily.cvd

It took less than a second (0.949s, 384.85 KB/s).

However, downloading from http://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd agian takes forever... no matter how many times I try.

The A record list for database.clamav.net is quite large. Is it possible your DNS is the problem? Have you tried to pull the information from any (even each) single mirror rather than accepting the DNS RR record?

The reason I ask is because if there were a chronic problem with the mirrors this thread would be far longer than it is because we'd all be complaining.

Try editing your host table or freshclam.conf file to pull from a specific site.
