if ($result == 200) {
# not required
if ( -f $dbfile ) {
system("cp -fp $dbfile $dbfile.old");
}
if ( -f $file) {
system("cp -p $file $file.tmp");
system("gunzip -Nf $file");
system("mv $file.tmp $file");

the -f parameter should stop gunzip from asking you if you want it overwritten
It might be best *not* to do this directly into /usr/local/share/clamav (or
wherever), then a check can be done to see if the update has
1) made it
2) is newer than the live one
The trouble with perl system() calls is that you don't get any result codes, I
might experiment with backticks instead.
