Since upgrading to ClamAV 1.4.3, we're having trouble with Freshclam on Windows failing to download definitions with this error

WARNING: Download failed (60) WARNING:  Message: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK


After investigation it appears that the problem is that the Windows certificate store is missing the "GTS Root R4" root certificate which is needed for Cloudflare sites (https://database.clamav.net). If I add it manually to the Windows certificate store, it works OK, but that's a pain

Is there any way to put the root certificate in a file that Freshclam on Windows can access and trust, without it needing to be in the Windows certificate store?

(Chrome etc browsers have their own root certificate stores, which do contain the GTS Root R4 certificate, so web browsers can access the https://database.clamav.net site OK, but curl is just using the Windows root certificates, which has fewer certificates)
