We are being hit by IP address - 5.62.61.195
It is being caught by our rules and the hostname is being entered into IPTABLES.
Unfortunately the DNS name does not resolve to the IP address -
r-195-61-62-5.ff.avast.com
Therefore they do not get banned, is there a way to have the <HOST> be
the ip address and not do a reverse lookup?

I think fail2ban does always add the IP address to iptables.
If you check the blocked IPs in iptables via command iptables -L it will
by default show the host names instead of IP addresses.
If you use iptables -L -n it will print the numeric format, meaning it
will show the IP address
this way you can check if your IP address got blocked ...
hope this helps ;)
