Not exactly on-thread but I thought I'd share an idea I had about this. It won't improve the quality of the central database, but it might help save a couple of hours of infected email on a busy server. So there's a clamav-virusdb mailing list that sends emails when the virus-db is updated. The idea was just to setup procmail to catch posts to that mailing list and run freshclam every time there's a new virus sig posted. I can't justify the bandwidth expenses for the number of virus emails I get, but on a big server it might help stop an infection before it starts in your network.
