clam-update consistently logging failures
I checked the FAQ but cannot find nothing useful. Mirrors in /etc/clamav/freshclam.com starts as follows and ends with clamav.gencore.org (should be the automatic list).
DatabaseMirror db.uk.ipv6.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.uk.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net
Any hint is appreciated, I think it's something evident, but it seems I cannot find it. Thank you!

The debian Squeeze packages use this:
> # Use DNS to verify virus database version. Freshclam uses DNS TXT records
to verify database and software versions. With this directive you can change
the database verification domain.
WARNING: Do not touch it unless you're configuring freshclam to use your
own database verification domain.
Default: current.cvd.clamav.net
DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
Uncomment the following line and replace XY with your country
code. See
http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm for the full list.You can use db.XY.ipv6.clamav.net for IPv6 connections.
DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net
database.clamav.net is a round-robin record which points to our most
reliable mirrors. It's used as a fall back in case db.XY.clamav.net is
not working. DO NOT TOUCH the following line unless you know what you
are doing.
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
Try using those. Good luck
EDIT: If you need other options, I don't know where the GenCore one is defined. Try comparing with the ones in here:
@Nuvini:
Why Debian 5? It's no longer supported so that might be why. Try upgrading to Squeeze.
The debian Squeeze packages use this:
Oh, sorry… yes, this is debian squeeze (I always mix names, to be clear is the current debian-stable).
I see your config file is really different, so at this point I suspect something (or me months ago, it could be) has changed the configuration file.
I just 'dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam' and picked the defaults (and asked to rewrite the conf). Hopefully this will solve the problem, I'll post back if it's still not working.
Thank you for your time!
