Since you've built the freshclam program at this point, you can use it to download all the databases it would normally download and then package those. The downside of this is, of course, that the daily.cvd changes daily... which means the package would have outdated virus definitions almost immediately. And, if it gets too out of date, freshclam will end up downloading the entire file anyway. And, after 7 days, you'll see warning messages about outdated definitions when clam starts up. Depending on how many hosts a typical ClearOS end-user has, they would probably want to set up a private mirror so that they don't have multiple systems behind the same IP address trying to grab the database files (and then getting rate-limited as a result).
