So:

Ubuntu does not output the "ClamAV update process started at DATE" message,
and also does not apppear to always output the "---" delimiter.  It's the date
message that is of concern to use due to logwatch trying to parse it.

The freshclam.conf files are essentially identical.  Any idea what might cause
this difference?
