Compression for freshclam is in the TODO list. That's simple to implement
but I think, the database format should be changed. There's no version
control of the database and we must use some tricks when switching to the
mirror to avoid a downgrade when the main host is back but doesn't yet
contain the latest databases. That's why the compression is not yet
implemented - imagine if we release a new version which supports db.bz2
we introduce 4 new files (!), and we will need to update them (at least for
some time) even when a new format is released, because some systems still
use that old clamav version.

Notice that we were only updating viruses.db2 file for the last two weeks.
