Yup we noticed the same problem here. Updates have become quite inconsistent.

[clamav-users] clamav-virusdb Update Problems?

[Al Varnell]

Just to try to get ahead of any problems now that the weekend has started, I 
noticed that daily 22210 through 22213 were quite small & most were twelve 
hours apart instead of the usual four and 22214 & 22215 appear to not have made 
any changes with eight hour intervals.

Re: [clamav-users] Suggestion: Need option to "Block Skipped Files" and Scan Summary to indicate "Skipped files"

[Steven Morgan]

Mark,

No, but you can get the latest code from github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-devel.
There you will find clamscan --block-max. Clamd BlockMax and documentation
is coming soon.

[Mark Allan]

Hi Steve,

Sorry to hijack the thread, but as you've brought it up - is there an ETA for 
0.99.3?
