Argh... I think I've nailed it here.  I grabbed a fresh copy of
freshclam.conf and started from scratch when I noticed this stanza: 

# Uncomment the following line and replace XY with your country
# code. See http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm for the full list.
# Default: There is no default, which results in an error when running
freshclam
#DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net

Well, I've never noticed this part before and never set it (and indeed,
my other working install doesn't have this set) and I've never seen an
error from freshclam without it set.  At any rate, setting this on the
two broken installs fixed the problem.
