Yes, that's what I was referring to.

So you are using an option 3 private local mirror as described in 
<https://www.clamav.net/documents/private-local-mirrors>. Make sure you also 
change freshclam.conf "DatabaseMirror machine1.mylan" where machine1.mylan is 
the name of your mirror server.

Also make sure you are using the latest version of the clamavdownloader.pl 
<https://github.com/akissa/clamav-faq/blob/master/mirrors/clamdownloader.pl> 

The existing clamdownloader.pl script does not have any error correction it 
simply bails out if a downloaded file is not valid and is unable to retry 
different mirrors if one fails. That is the most likely reason for those 404 
errors.

I have no experience with private local mirrors, but you might have better luck 
with the clamavmirror script <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clamavmirror/0.0.3>.
