Freshclam should blacklist this IP somehow (haven't read the source for a while, blame me). Also the clamav team removes mirrors which are out of sync or down automatically from the DNS database.
The second symptom is from not running clamd, or having a wrong path to clamav's config file in freshclam.conf. If you don't have clamd running (which I recommend), comment out the NotifyClamd <clamav config file> or make sure the argument to NotifyClamd correctly points to clamd's config file.
