I'll need to leave it for a little while to see that it's all fine, but adding
PrivateMirror seems to fix it. It wasn't in the config file - so the disabled
value has to be the default that's being reported.
Had a look in the changelog - found it at line 962 so it's no wonder I'd not
noticed it's silent arrival.
As to how I made it work, I just shared /var/lib/clamav on my 'master' server
with an Apache vhost (I already have Apache running for other stuff), and set
DatabaseMirror virusdb.mydomain in freshclam.conf on the other servers. I
don't know where it came from, but I recall (some time ago now) finding
something about how to set it up this way. It may not have been this site I was
referring to back then, but it's certainly Option 2 I did :
https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq/blob/master/mirrors/CvdPrivateMirror.md
The same test is referenced here :

This solution is really simple to implement but it's only effective
if your clients are all on the same local network and bandwidth is
not an issue for you.
Configure a local webserver on one of your machines (say machine1.mylan) and
let freshclam download the *.cvd files fromhttp://database.clamav.net to
the webserver’s DocumentRoot.
Add the following line to freshclam.conf on machine1.mylan.
ScriptedUpdates no
First the database will be downloaded to the local webserver and then
the other clients on the network will update their copy of the database
from it. For this to work you have to change freshclam.conf on each client
so that it reads.
DatabaseMirror machine1.mylan
ScriptedUpdates no
Over on the ClamAV-users mailing list, Shawn Webb suggested that the issue is
to do with some new code intended to make downloads more robust :

I'm not really in a position to test the patch.
