Experienced this bug today across 10 different installs (mix of Desktop and Server edition). Had to manually remove the apt-cacher-ng proxy address from the freshclam.conf files.
I had a quick look at the clamav source code and only found proxy settings being imported from $http_proxy. Didn't see anything specifically targeting apt proxy settings, so I suspect apt-get is setting the http_proxy environment variable during runtime, which is then being picked up by clamav if installed via apt-get. I've confirmed http_proxy is not set in my standard environment, but haven't had time to run apt-get through a debugger to confirm my theory of apt setting the http_proxy variable in its process.
