Why don't you just do something simple like:
dig TXT current.cvd.clamav.net
This returns the current released version of ClamAV, the current CVD
file version numbers, and the date and time of the update.
The idea is to grab the update immediately once it is published.
Checking the DNS record would have to be a cron job and thus would only
run at a given time.
You can run it outside of cron too, and as often as you like - dns is a
very light weight process. It also has the advantage of telling you that
there's an update and that it is available to download. I don't know if
the email message can tell you the mirrors are sync'd. Perhaps the email
is not sent until all mirrors are sync'd in which case it can come a
long time after the update has been released.
