On my Debian box, I shutdown freshclam with "invoke-rc.d
clamav-freshclam stop;"
I do "on-demand" scanning rather than have cron run run clamscan.

I am sure similar way of shutting clamav exist on Macs.

issue freshclam at your shell and see what happens.
It's suppose to connect to virus update site and download the db
signatures to appropriate dir (on mine, it's /var/lib/clamav/)
