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.

There also seems to be a duplicate bug here:
